  • Jacob3d, on 10/10/2007, -5/+172Damn they should of setup a time-lapse camera for this!
  • mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -8/+103Man Picasa Web Albums is so much better than Flikr.
  • MikeonTV, on 10/10/2007, -7/+96Wow. it hit the front page in 5 hours. Must have created quite the buzz.
  • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -4/+46It would be the bee's knees?
  • Godlike, on 10/10/2007, -7/+42Yeah, just beecause it would bee cool. Bee!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+34For some odd reason, seeing that gave me the heeby-jeebies... very intriguing stuff though, especially the almost artery like appearance of the foundation.
  • catalysis, on 10/10/2007, -4/+32I would have gone for unbeelievable
  • hmunkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27Picasa isn't bad... I've never seen a Picasa web album before.
  • spookyttws, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22That creeps e out for some reason. Just like those shots of bikes and cars covered in webbing.
  • Ironspork, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Incredible isn't really the word I'd use to describe this, but it is pretty neat.
  • kenvsryu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Jar of honey, literally
  • gak001, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20Cue grammar Nazi - should've or should have - of is a preposition, 've is a contraction. Otherwise, I definitely agree.
  • 1b2a, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16As if other jars of honey aren't?
  • dj_sea2005, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16"I'm covered in beeeeees!"
  • crushfan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Yeah, I was just going to write this down -- but CTRL+F'd yours.

    It feels much more like an album and -is faster.
  • Plant11, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Osmosis.
  • ryancawdor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Fantastic angles on the pictures. Creepy-crawly dreams tonight, that's for sure.
  • diggitydoc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10duhhhhh.... through the bottom of the bell jar which is sitting on top of a hive....
    RTA!
  • mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9And this is just the UK version .. the US version is even faster (if you live in America) and has more features.

    Did you try the zoom? It's instantaneous and smooth. Goes directly the original resolution. I've always liked Google's minimalism model.
  • fredkreuger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Of course not, it floats.
  • SomeHobo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Interesting: it looks like they had to start it by placing those bee white cell things inside the jar and then placing the jar over a hive... I wonder if you could start this on its own?
  • mancat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9so that's what hope is...
  • shoutsmurmurs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Coulda, woulda... shoulder?
  • 99Casimir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7You could could not start this on its own, not enough room. The bees will be too crowded and swarm. They also put foundation in the jar to let the bees build on something.
  • celestial, on 10/10/2007, -10/+16bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  • NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8This is great. I LOVE bee...wait, this isn't Halo related, is it?
  • hoshizakistar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"I like my coffee like I like my women... uh... covered in bees!"
  • ajgv, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5wtf?
  • mercuryswitch, on 10/10/2007, -8/+13im in ur jarz making my hivez
  • kenvsryu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Yes google > yahoo. The 200 pic limit on flickr for free pics is ridiculous.
  • TenebrousX, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9Better yet, it blends
  • pilot3033, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8the hole on top....?
  • h4mx0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I say we nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
  • olsonea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4"That's why Mr. Burns made me head bee guy."

    and

    "The bee bit my bottom! Now my bottom's big!"

  • punkrockxtian, on 11/20/2007, -1/+5What? 2900 diggs and THREE comments. Somethings wrong here
  • karebu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3whatever it is, don't click on it. seriously.
  • dolemite5005, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7Incredible!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5They wouldn't naturally start the hive on their own in there, no. You have to glue the foundation strips in there with something like flour+water paste (nothing chemical).
  • NightOwl4, on 11/20/2007, -0/+3this is one of the coolest things i have ever seen
  • nakile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Those pictures scare the crap out of me for some reason.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Don't click on it, if you don't want to hear what a musical genius sounds like.
  • robuk24, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4that gives me the creeps
  • bbene, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Yeah, great idea. Contribute even more to the rapid decline in population of honey bees.
  • WINOBOT, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2But will it Blend?
  • andrgo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3That really is pretty cool.
  • TheBigSquid, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I heard Ron Paul has one twice the size of that one.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2except they are not even using that hole, they are coming in from a big beehive under the jar.
  • n0t0kayipr0mis3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2actually around my school there have been bees everywhere, maybe they've been displaced.
  • k3nshady89, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Imagine sticking a fire cracker in there or even thermite.
  • logandurand, on 11/20/2007, -0/+2Weird . . . it says there are over 100 . . stupid comment page.
