I generally keep away from bees as well, I used to react when I got stung when I was young quite bad, not sure if I still do but I haven't been stung for 30 years and I do not want to risk it to find out LOL
As for photos in my Active lightroom catalogue I have 280000 Photos mostly city shots and beach, but also a lot of the various events here that I shot for them,
thank I have six external backup drives for shots before 2014, I am not sure how many photos are on them off hand but the total storage space is 10 TB on those and I have copies of each photo on at least two of the drives, so I am guess I have about 4 TB of backed up photos
