Fred H. 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2012 Here is a honey bee and a few shots of some of the components. Note that the abdomen was tied as an extended body . I have seen many fish rise to a drowned bee in the ponds near my bee hives . Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2012 Pretty damn amazing likeness! The ultimate revenge on those stinging critters would be to fish it and enjoy every strike a fish makes on it. Excellent as usual Fred. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
