Aways Bee Feasting

I’d heard and seen a few reports of the lingering Baltimore Orioles in the Dell Water eating dead Honeybees scattered around the hives.

The day I visited, it was in the mid 40sF and some bees were out and about. This Oriole was grabbing live ones.

Picking them off at the hive entrances, sometimes reaching inside.

Trying for them in the air and missing…

…and sometimes succeeding.
