Drinking and high-fiving bees apparently go together.

An amazing picture capturing nature’s life and death struggle.
If you’ve ever wondered why honeybees tend to die after stinging someone, this picture says it all. In an incredible capture by Kathy Keatley Garvey, a UC Davis Communications Specialist in the Department of Enomology, we see a bee stinging a person’s arm and then attempting to fly away as the stinger remains lodged in the victim. That trail of goo you see? It’s actually the bee’s abdominal tissue. The remarkable capture netted Garvey the first-place gold feature photo award in an Association for Communication Excellence competition.On the fortunate timing, Garvey said she was walking with a friend and a bee came close to him and started buzzing in a high-pitch. She said that’s normally a telltale sign that a bee’s about to sting, so she readied her camera and snapped four photos.

For most of us, a pot of golden honey is only a supermarket away.
But for the Rai people of Nepal, gathering the sweet stuff involves a death-defying climb on home-made ladders – and a four-hour mission to extract the precious nectar.
To make matters worse, the daredevil hunters come under attack from swarms of the world’s largest bee while perching 250ft up the side of a cliff.
