Description

Got a shock when I opened the storage box just outside my conservatory back door.Her majesty was busy building herself a nest.Come the summer proper this would be a very busy place so it had to go.While I don't have any phobia about bees,wasps and anything else that stings,just outside the back door is a bit close. Yes I felt very guilty doing the business but I only took measures against the nest,her majesty was free to go elsewhere,and I hope she's managed to restart away from any more interference. By the way,the nest already had 4 or 5 little 'cells'. Thanks for looking

Absolutely stunning macro shot. The colours, lighting and details are just fantastic. Amazing you were able to get so close without annoying her too much. Great capture. xx

Great shot! But beware they tend to have territory and she will try again around the same spot. This I know from experience, the hard way lol good luck
