i don't know if this is the place for this post, but we have had the discussion about keeping honey and other gunk off our cameras when at the hives. i am doing a cutout tomorrow. i know that it will be messy and i have no helper to take pics. here is my messy looking but functional solution. i used a small ziploc bag.

i cut slits to allow for the zoom.
Great Idea, should work out great. Maybe put a strap on it to hand it near you and to keep it from falling to the ground.
good idea. thanks. did it. :-)
Good idea. I try and take a break for pic taking. I wash my hands first, always good to have a bucket of water handy, I swear I that bucket of water is more important than anything.

You got that right JP, nothing like trying to do something when you are all sticky...lmao
Kathy, cool, go, girl, go!!! You got that great idea for sure, and a string attached too, yep, yep. I always keep a bucket of water handy when I do anything with the bees, it has saved my butt many times. Beautiful and the most wonderful day, Cindi
Thast why i have lots of pictures form the beginning of cutouts, not the middle!
I keep my camera in my top pocket on a string around my neck - then it's covered while I'm in the hive, but I can pull it out any time to snap a picture without fear of dropping it. Still sometimes gets messy.... :-x

Remember rubbing alcohol removes propolis in a snap. I always have a little jar of it up at my apiary, along with some cotton balls, hee, hee. Beautiful and most wonderful day, Cindi
