Bee Geometric #geojanuary

Nature is one of my favourite photography subjects, not people. Sometimes, it’s the shape of buildings and the cityscape, though mostly, it’s the shape of our imperfectly perfect natural surroundings. Today, my focus for Becky’s Geometric January Challenge is the wings of a bee.

As summer unfolds in New Zealand, the plight of bees has become a recurring concern, particularly their dwindling presence in our backyard gardens and countryside.
One possible reason for our specific city area is the possibility that a beekeeper has removed their beehives from a nearby backyard; in early spring, numerous bees were buzzing around, and then a decline was noticeable as summer progressed. The global issue of the varroa mite, a significant threat to many beehive honey producers, has also made its mark here in New Zealand. A discussion I had recently with someone learning the art of beekeeping shared that she had to destroy thousands of bees due to the disease. That was heartbreaking for her and for us to hear.

This magnificent creature’s wings are not deformed but instead display intricate geometric shapes, a sight to admire.
