And then he flew off....

My camera is not good enough to catch his wing beats, ......

Their wings beat over a short arc of about 90 degrees, but ridiculously fast, at around 230 beats per second. Fruit flies, in comparison, are 80 times smaller than honeybees, but flap their wings only 200 times a second. Honeybees' peculiar strategy may have to do with the design of their flight muscles

Source of info is internet.

. . . The salt-grain size neuropile (brain) of the familiar western honey bee, Apis, mellifera,' houses 960,000 neurons and a staggering number -- 10 to the power of 9 -- of neural synapses. we, the brainy, naked apes, have 85 billion neurons to our credit, with synapses totaling 10 to the power of 25. sound like a lot, but remember that they are houses within a brain that is 1.2 million times larger than that of our flower-visiting honey bee. ~ Page 23 (Excerpt : THE REASON OF FLOWERS"

Wunderschönes Foto. Und gerade dass sie schneller mit den Flügeln schlägt, als die Kamera es einfangen kann, macht die Bewegung so deutlich. Gefällt mir sehr.
