Mrs. Penguin visited New York for the first time in her life this past weekend, so of course we had to have a Bee Party!
Left to right standing: Mrs. Bee, Smokey the cat, Mrs. Snow Pea, Mrs. & Mr. Bell Pepper, Mrs. Spider, Mrs. Bluebell, Mrs. Onion, Mrs. Dahlia, Mrs. Violet, Mr. Onion; Sitting Mrs. & SIL Cupcake, and Mrs. Toucan & Mrs. Penguin.
The following images are by Mrs. Bell Pepper. She took them using a Canon Rebel xti, and the Canon Speedlite 430EX Flash. I’d been in the market for a flash, and after seeing her pictures, she’s definitely convinced me to get one!

The Onions
Ok now check out Mrs. Bell Pepper’s pictures of the food, taken with her flash…
And now check out my dinky pictures below… what a difference! If I have to take pictures with flash, I usually don’t take them at all because they look so washed out and horrible.
I spy Smokey the cat who was the life of the party!
Miss Apple Cider and moi
The Ants and the Dahlias
This was much later in the night after the Penguins and the Toucans had many a beer and cocktail…
Weddingbee PRO Laura Nadeau and the Bluebells
What are the Toucans doing on my bed?! 
We look like midgets next to Mr. Toucan!
I feel horrible for not having invited any readers, but my apartment was at maximum capacity with 30 peeps. I promise next time we’ll plan something super duper duper fabulous because I love playing hostess. 
Wow, looks like quite the party!! Gotta be careful when the Bees get into the wine eh?
I love that Mrs. Bell Pepper took a photo of a Bell Pepper dip bowl!
@MightySapphire: I was going to comment as well on Mrs. Bell Pepper’s “self portrait!” 
Such great pics Mrs Bee!!!! Y’all are too cute!!! & I am soooooo craving sushi now!
Cute! Whatever happened to Mrs. Bluebell’s recap of her Chinese banquet etc. Did we get to see that? Did I miss it?
@lilikoi: It’s Cynthia Steffe from Gilt Group! I paid $100 for it.
Yay, glad you got to have a great time, and also meet the Penguins. I hope there will be a bee meetup that I can go to!! 
Looks like so much fun! That flash is really amazing. wow.
That looked like so much fun! And it makes me really want to get a new camera & flash!

The bees are HOT! And I am so bummed I wasn’t able to be there.
