Thought some of you might enjoy this. Needed a picture for our bee association's display at the Illinois State Fair. Sorry, I can't tell you exactly how many days old this is. I just had the idea to take a closeup of an egg and looked in the TBH for an egg close to the edge of the comb that I could cut off without much damage. Maybe one day I could take the time to take day 1-3. Out of the four assoc's displays it got the blue ribbon. Picture was taken the old fashioned way. I used an old Pentax Program Plus 35mm with six inch bellows, a one inch extension tube, and a 100mm Super Macro Takumar lens. Arvin  |

Everyone said it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied, "I won't be one to say it is so, until I give it a try." So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin. If he had a worry he hid it and he started to sing as he tackled that thing that couldn't be done, and he did it. (unknown)
