Loved it! That must be very difficult to do (for you, not for the bees :-D ). The real genius here was not putting music to it and just leaving the sounds of nature. Nice job.

Thanks Steve, I primarily take stills except a few times a year video for the grand's special occasions. I forget my camera takes video when I'm out shooting flowers and pups.

Bees are nice! Last year I took photos in a sunflower field of family and the fields were packed with bees. I'll have to get video too this year. Columbia River Bottoms has several fields that bloom different weeks in July.

I switched to continuous focus, but forgot to widen the aperture or the focus area. It was set at a small AF point. I was surprised I did get the bees mostly in focus. I did think about adding a sound track, but decided I liked the ambient audio. I told my husband to be quiet that I was shooting video. So he decides to whisper. I edited that part out and swapped with audio from a different clip. The audio was faint so I duplicated the audio on a 2nd track. That lens makes noise in continuous focus which you can faintly hear.

To enhance a soundtrack I have often used this as a "background noise". Useful to have in the "video toolkit" and not expensive. Think the intro to Santana, Caravaserai - Eternal Caravan of Reincarnation.

John 2 sheds, that looks like an interesting program. There are times that the wind noise is overbearing.
