Here's another great shot of some of our pollen-laden friends getting ready to enter the hive with their offerings.
For those interested, any time you see this activity occurring, it's a sure bet that there is an egg laying queen inside. And that's a very good thing!
The healthy queen bee lays about 1500 eggs every 24 hours.
Signing off,
Bees Keeper
Did you know that...
- ...about 90 U.S. crops depend on bees for pollination?
- ...many hives are trucked from region to region for pollination purposes?
- ...honeybee health is threatened by, among other things, mites?
