From Albert Lavallee

I think it is fairly unique to photograph a fish jumping out of the water to catch a Honeybee, but it is certainly unusual when two Green Sunfish try for the same bee.

Lake Waurika WMA, SW Oklahoma, USA.

Canon R5, Canon RF 200-800mm IS lens, Tripod.

Settings, ISO 12800 (yes, it was before Sunrise and cloudy) Tv 1/1600sec, Av 9.0, lens at 432mm.

    I don’t know if I just need more sleep, or the heat is getting to me, but my immediate thought after reading Bee Mine was how hilarious it would be if they made “less lethal” landmines that were just beehives that crack open and release the pissed off swarm.

    Excellent photo though, the lower fish looks like it just climbed onto the flower to watch the action.

      I’ve stepped on a few bee mines as a kid. Would not recommend!

      Lower fish: loses free lunch, gains comfy sofa.
