At what point did you abandoned the instrument????
How to solve it....find a bee keeper. My friends that take care of bees would catch that swarm in a few minutes.
Me...I would run.
The the lens is still uncovered.....get over there and finish you angles.
Cool Picture.
"point B" lol...
Those bees are swarming around the queen. When they are in that state they are pretty docile. You could walk up and start taking shots if you wanted...but you better have nerves of still.
Or you could just wait a few hours for the scouts to come back and the whole swarm will leave in mass. Pretty cool to see how the protect the queen.
:good:
What is that thing on the tripod leg?
Looks like a TV remote control.
It certainly isn't a bee repellent dispenser. Or is that repellant?
JA, PLS SoCal
Looks like an all-in-one weather monitoring device. The wheel on top measures wind speeds.

Have a great weekend and say hey to m. B-)
Years ago we were staking a residential subdivision for sanitary sewer. The contractor came in with his track loader to clear the line. The loader ran over a yellow jacket nest and they COVERED the loader and operator. Since it was the end of the day they just left the loader where it sat, covered with yellow jackets. The nesxt morning they had all congregated in the bucket of the loader. The contractor cut off a stick of dynamite (I'm guessing about a quarter stick), put a fuse in it and threw it into the bucket. BOOOOOM!!!! No more yellow jackets and it just knocked some dust off the loader bucket. I wouldn't recommend it, but it worked.

I hate yellow jackets, mean little bastards. And they will chase you for hundreds of feet once they have tagged you with their scent.
Our other PC got 30 stings last week.
