    Forgive my poor camera skills, I just keep pushing the button and hope something decent eventually shows up.

    Baby Zara the axanthic bee

    lol love the regular bee's name. :D That last pic of her is too funny. All poised and ready. And little Zara is super adorable. I can't wait to see how she looks with some size on her.

    What kind of camera do you have? Point and shoot?

    She struck at the camera half a second later and tries (and occasionally succeeds) to bite me several times a day :rolleyes:. I think she had her hopper coiled in <15 seconds though. Camera is an old Nikon Coolpix 5700 hand-me-down freebie. It has buttons on it, and a bunch of settings, I just don't know what any of them do. :oops:

    Thanks! Although I have to admit, the constant biting is getting tiresome. She's not stressed either, she has a snug cage with FOUR hides and a plastic plant, she was mean right out of the egg. I actually dropped her in the sink when I was washing the egg goo off, she startled me when she turned around and nailed me.

    Is she nippy even in hand? My girl is only really bad when I open her tub. Or touch her. Or walk by lol. But she's gotten much better when I have her out. It's just in her tub that she's a nightmare.

    Yup, but she's only 2 1/2 weeks old, so I suppose I should cut her some slack. I'd be pretty scared if some giant creature suddenly took me out of my comfy house and tried to hold me/feed me/check that I hadn't thrown up a mouse.
