Hi Annie,
We have a reasonably priced field camera that takes stills or videos in
daylight and at night. Reasonably priced at £100. See the link below.

What a great pic Paul. I want one !!!!! Aren’t your girlies industrious !
Who needs wind power when we have bees ! What camera was it Jack?
I’d love some night vision binoculars or even better a camera, it would be
great to see what’s running around in the undergrowth in the dark. My daughter
in law is in the Navy and a little while ago she brought home some night vision
binoculars (she’d checked them out of stores for an early exercise the
following morning so nothing dodgy going on) ! We took them to the lane by
their house where it was reallllly dark and I was just so amazed at what we
could see ! Especially, we could clearly see the stars through thick cloud !
Wow ! Don’t think Father Christmas would stretch to one of those though, I
believe they cost a fair bit !!! Oh well if I wish hard enough eh ha ha.

Outstanding picture. Admired by entire family here. One said "so bees have
eyelashes too!" (referring to the hairs on their eyes.)
I attach a photo made with the FLIR camera Jack borrowed. It shows the
heat-glow from a cluster in a Warre hive on, I think, Friday night; ambient
temperature was 2C that night. If you look closely round the window you can see
warm dots, these are metal screws. I didn't notice those initially because the
camera hasn't got many pixels' resolution, so unless you are near the hive it
doesn't show that level of detail - which is the opposite of the spectacular
photo Ann has circulated. At some point I shall do a blog post on this and the
other hive types I FLIR-photographed, but first there are the pub meeting notes
to write up 8)

Came across this fab photo from a 2015 photography competition, Pollen on a
bees eye, (it won by the way). Thought you might like to see it.
Ann (smiley face) lol.
