Bee Photography

I find this photography site devoted to bees. Eric Tourneret is travelling around the world and shooting amazing bee photos.

He calls himself "The Bee Photographer":

Why this work on bees? --- I grew up in a village on a mountainside above Annecy. When I learned about the dying out of the bees, my instinct as a child of the countryside told me something was wrong in our relationship with nature. I chose to commit myself to the bee and pass on the idea of a living nature.

California’s driest year on record

Spring has already started with trees blooming 3 weeks ago. I am a beginner beekeeper and bees are busy as bees, nowadays, collecting nectar crazy and pollinating plants in the neighborhood. However, this year we did not get any rain, California’s driest year on record. This summer will be really tough for bees and us :(
