My friend and professional photographer, Chris Dawson recently visited IronBee to take photographs. The light conditions weren’t great that day, but with the help of gold foil reflectors, he managed to capture some stunning shots.
What you’re seeing here is a lobe of comb just starting on a new frame. “The Helpful Place” is a paint stirrer we use in each frame as a starting point for the bees to build their comb. Perfect placement…not in any way staged. I really have to take the photo to the lovely, generous man at the hardware store who gifed me hundreds of stirrers for free!
The only major note about the visit is that we got to taste the girls’ honey for the first time today. INCREDIBLE and DELICIOUS.
