If you could set up a webcam as well, that would be spiffy. -- Chris Savage Kiss me. Or would you rather live in a Gateshead, UK land where the soap won't lather? - Billy Bragg |

How to take photos of killer bees???
The answer is, very carefully! These bees don't eat people they sting them
to death by swarming. Approach slowly if you must, I wouldn't though if I were you. When the guard bees fly at you back off!! That's was what I was told to do if I encountered them. Rob.

Oh yea forgot an important point.
Don't let even one sting you! The sting kills the bee but releases a sent/pheramone that triggers the sarm attack. If you try this I won't be at your funeral! "Rob Bradford" wrote in message ...

Rob, You haven't noticed yet that that is the behaviour the OP is looking for? So hit the hive with a stick, jump on them. Let them sting! And don't forget to take the good advice given about how to capture the event on film. |
