Honey Bees

Well Andrew and I have entered into the fascinating world of honey bees, we have been going to bee club for a few months now and have just got our first hive well it’s a nuc really with a small colony of bees, which we are hoping to see through the winter months.
If you watch closely you can see what colour pollen they have collected in their pollen baskets which are on the back legs, Andrew was watching today and it was orange.

Catch ya later!

oooooh could you please please post some pics. I have a small insect house in our tree - so that bees getting caught in the rain have shelter.

Long live the bees!!!!
