Welcome to the nut house.
The werepanda was my photographer for this house. He said the bee in the last photo was necessary to show scale.
I think that the fact that the house is a walnut is pretty indicative, but the werepanda argues that the walnut could be freakishly huge. Well, the bee could be africanized and also freakishly huge, but it's not. It's a deceased honey bee from our hive, and it's a pretty standard three-stripe Italian hybrid.
I just adore this!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!! I want one of my own!
ReplyDeletelol at "I think that the fact that the house is a walnut is pretty indicative". Yeah, this is one situation where the scale is pretty evident.
I don't know that 3rd picture makes it look like a giant walnut. Actually African bees are smaller than a European bee, if you want a freakishly huge bee you will need to go to Canada here
ReplyDeleteHehe, this is really neat, Mady!
ReplyDeleteI confess, the only thing I know about killer bees is what I learned from Wu-Tang Clan, and the bee on the cover of The Swarm album looks huge. Maybe if there had been a walnut beside it to indicate scale ...

I'm totally nuts about this one!
ReplyDeleteI love the bee. I also love that you have a hive. I also also love that it *opens up*! And has a chimney! Wow.
