I had just finished a beer when a bee flew into the cabin and landed on the bottle. Before I could get the camera set up it had crawed into the bottle and was swimming in the little bit of beer left in the bottom. I then turned the bottle on it's side and waited. The bee did eventually sober up and fly off. :D

The lighting could be a bit better. Sharp lens, though. :)

You're right Gregory, they were too dark (lighter now). That's what I get for doing post production on my laptop. Thanks for the heads-up.

Yes it was a BL, but when you're swimming in the stuff does the alcohol percentage really matter all that much? :D

PS I didn't LET him drink and fly. He snuck off when I wasn't looking. :D
