Congrats, Wendy! Beat me again ;-/ I guess I'm learning that DPC voters take their challenge titles very literally. But, engineer that I am, I couldn't pass up a photo of bees building bridges. C u in some future challenge.

Thanks for all the kind comments, questions and votes. Here is a more in-depth explanation of festooning by Joe Zgurzynski of Country Barn Farm.

[Festooning is] an activity used for multiple tasks. Wax secretion, bridging gaps,
communication, measurement, comb construction. The bee space of one quarter
of an inch to three eighths of and inch is the thing to keep in mind. A
space larger than 3/8 of an inch is filled with comb, less than 1/4 of and
inch is filled with comb. The bee space in the hive is essentially a
communication space. When a gap occurs that is not filled with comb, the
bees close the space with their bodies to maintain hive organization until
the space is filled with comb.

Thanks again, Joe! I have many photos documenting the day and will try to upload them when I have the time.

very pretty. feels a little off level, which is ok. I believe Murayami (sp?) used to do that with his ocean pics. In this case, it seems to detract. I like the tree on the right ... it's a keeper.

Since you didn't mention that it was captive, I must assume it is wild. Very nice get.
