Honey Bee Canvas Print

July 2015 Shenandoah National Park, Virginia: A honey bee , in contrast with the stingless honey bee, is any member of the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax. Honey bees are the only extant members of the tribe Apini, all in the genus Apis. Currently, only seven species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 44 subspecies, though historically, from six to eleven species have been recognized. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees. Some other types of related bees produce and store honey, but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees. The study of honey bees is known as apiology.

My love of the arts began at a young age. Always one to enjoy color and light, it was clear early on that I would share my passion with others. Through my innovative fine art photography, I am able to enhance the world as I see it, creating memorable and unique images. I am endlessly inspired by the nature around me and especially influenced by flowers, scenery, and wildlife. I hope you enjoy browsing my gallery and that you find a special piece that will enable you to bring a bit of the outdoors into your home or business. Each photograph is created using my impeccable technique and passion, which is clearly evident in each and every photograph.
