For as long as I've know about bee eaters, I've wanted to take a photograph of one with a bee in it's mouth. After nine trips into the bush I finally got my wish! There they were...two little bee eaters sitting on a branch in the most beautiful light. I yelled, "stop stop stop", which BK promptly did. I couldn't believe my eyes...there was a bee eater with a bee in it's mouth! I grabbed my big gun and shot away!As we watched, the bee eater took the bee and smacked him on the branch numerous times to kill him. I always wondered how they ate them without getting stung on the way down! Now I know....
Enjoy!
