In this post I will share a little of my experience that felt very scary, and this was a challenge for me and the results were very satisfying, so when I was on my friend's oil palm plantation, at that time I was looking for mushrooms in his garden, but suddenly when I was very close to one of the oil palm trees, suddenly there was a bee flying beside me, realizing the presence of the bee I was immediately careful because I was afraid that this bee was not alone or in a group, I stopped for a moment and watched the direction the bee was flying, until suddenly the bee flew under the oil palm leaves and I bent down a little to see it, and it turned out that the bee was returning to its nest and how surprised I was when I realized that the bee's nest was right near me, but at that time the bee did not show any aggressive attitude towards me, maybe because I didn't bother them either, but I was a little curious to try to take a picture of the bee that was in its nest, I started to move my cellphone camera closer to the bee's nest and when I thought the distance was close enough, I immediately took a picture of it, luckily I managed to take a picture of this bee and its nest without there was an unwanted incident
