Brigitte and I were doing some photography near Bodega Bay this weekend. As usual Brigitte found a bird to photograph, and I split off to do some seascapes. I headed down the hill from the parking lot toward the beach when I immediately noticed several Bumble Bees flying around a very large outcropping of packed dry sand.
I took a closer look to find that the bees were actually burrowing into the hillside, and making elaborate dens to nest in. I sat there just observing for about 30 minutes....no photos, just observing. Passers-by were oblivious to the bees, and in fact they climbed right over the hillside destroying several nests. I went back to the car to get my macro lens, then returned to document the scene.
Image 1st image shows the finished nests, and images 2 & 3 show the bees with their nests.
