The bee wolf grabs the honey bee behind the neck and curls into her faster than the human eye can see.
As the honey bee drifts into unconsciousness, the bee wolf seemingly gives her a last kiss.
Gripped tightly to the wolf’s abdomen, the bee is flown off to a sandy nest where she will lie in paralysed state surrounded by other hapless prey waiting for the wolf’s eggs to hatch and finally complete the hunting cycle.
Pragtige foto’s. Sjoe, dit is erg, ek is skoon naar. Maar wonderlik hoe die natuur maak om voort te plant en te oorleef. Eet ons van die wolf se heuning? Maak hulle heuning wil ek seker eerder vra.

Great shots. I can’t help feeling sad for the bee though.

I agree. I know there is a food chain, but this is quite a harsh way of providing for the young

Hi Christa. Ek dink dis n perdeby so ek glo daar is nie heuning nie. Hulle is enkel lopend eerder as in ‘n swerm

Baie dankie Christa. Die natuur inspireer my. Ek wil so graag hê meer en meer mense moet besef hoe ongelooflik ons aardbol en die lewe self is.
