Bee entering the hive with pollen on her legs |
Sunday March 15, 2015 was a spectacular day...warm and sunny. The bees were taking advantage of the beautiful day and were collecting a lot of pollen for this early in the season.
Honey bees bringing back the beautiful yellow pollen.
Close up of the packed legs. I also saw some white, and darker yellow pollen.
It is great to see the bees foraging, and be healthy.
Monday, I visited my Russian bees... I saw the original queen (she is painted!) and saw some eggs. Cleaned up the bottom board, and gave them a couple of frames of honey and a bit of pollen patty. I guess spring is here.
Love it!
I used a long stick to clean the bottom board, it is less disruptive than taking each box off. |
