ENTERING ANOTHER WORLD

papa-pepper (80) in macrophotography • 7 years ago

It's almost like getting a bug's eye view of the world, and it sure looks strange.

Recently, I found an old, abandoned hornet nest. I've always admired the skill with which they build these. I've wondered what it would be like to be crawling around on one of these, and thanks to my macro lens, I can now get that viewpoint. I've edited a few of these photos, but left some untouched too. While I like the detail that black & white can draw out and enhance, I like things raw and as they appear too. Enjoy the photos!

The ingenuity is spectacular, With no degree, preprogrammed, they know how to build it.
We have a lot to learn from them.

this is cool, but for me bee is a little scary, little I tell you @papa-pepper.
By the time I was in the field and I was sitting in a small shack, suddenly there came a bunch of bumblebees and they roared on the roof over my head it was so scary @papa-pepper, the roof height with my head just 2 arms, it it is terrible for me, if I think about it until now I am very afraid of bees.

Apis the genus name, I couldn't figure out the proper species.
These small creatures too much social and remains in colonies with hormony and best properly managed division of Labour. Not only make such engineered architecture but also;

Feed the one another by tropholaxis.
Keep the chambers air conditioned by vibrating their wings in metachronous rhythm.
Remove the dead bodies from chambers.
Feed their queen.
produce bee wax and honey.
Even if trained the can used to detect the explosive and bombs.
Aren't they more intelligent and Social than money other animals even humans in some cases.

Hi papa-pepper,

I like the colored image better...I love colors no matter what.
If you found an abandoned hornet's nest, perhaps you may have live ones around?

Looks more like a beehive. Each specie has a different and unique home

Nice look inside!

Their nest entrances are works of art as well:

Real artists. European hornets (Vespa crabro) these, though, you probably have another kind.

It is surprising how the wasps build the ducts evenly to the size of the larvae. By the way, good images.

When I was a kid, the neighbor kids had wrist-rockets (slingshots). Their mom would give them bags of dried beans for ammo and we'd be sent to the backyard to shoot down wasp nests.

I think we did more running and screaming than actual nest removals, but it was fun.

Very cool architecture! It is a good thing that they are friendly to one another, living in such close proximity to each other! I think it is a good thing that it was abandoned or you wouldn't have been able to get these amazing shots.

watch the bees during the summer and follow them to their nests, a nighttime raid in the autumn on part of the hive should get some nice, free honey.
leave 1/2 to 3/4 of the hive so they will be there next year.

It's quite amazing, the repetitive precision that goes into making these isn't it? Do you have a lot of hornets in the Ozarks?

We get wasps here, but I don't think we have hornets. The wasps are bad enough, they kill people here, sometimes.

One of the most perfect creations of nature in my opinion.
The bee is the basis of the education I bring to children,
for the importance of pollination.

Your macro lens is awesome. I appreciate the pics even more with your "proof-of-nest" pic showing the nest at its normal size.

Great macro shots. I agree it’s like looking into another world. Bees I love...hornets/wasps can burn as far as I’m concerned :) Those little angry bastards have stung me more times than I can remember. Painful.
