About the artwork

This photo was taken in Hungary at Puszta Eldorado in Tiszagyenda.
The (European) bee-eater (Merops apiaster) is a bird of the bee-eater family (Meropidae). The bird is 28 cm long (including extended tail feathers 30.5 cm) and weighs 44 to 78 grams. It is recognizable by its exotic colors, blue-green tail, yellow throat and dark eye stripe. The plumage is similar in both sexes. Bee-eaters are insectivores and agile flyers, which also know how to graze insects in flight. The name clearly comes from its main food source. The presence of large insect prey such as grasshoppers, dragonflies, wasps and also bees is an absolute requirement for bee-eaters. The bee-eater is immune to bee and wasp stings. To avoid stings, he knows how to rid them of their stings by rubbing them against a branch. It lives in groups and therefore breeds in colonies in burrows in walls of banks and mountains, sometimes also in the ground.
