New Hobby: Bee Keeping

Grace & I did a hive inspection over the weekend.

Finally grabbed a decent pic of the queen.

Inadvertently broke open some honeycomb while pulling frames, and the ladies went right to work making repairs. Clean up on aisle 3! Close up on the right shows bee tongue.

This shot shows the bees packing pollen into cells. You can see some of the bees going head first into the comb. They basically pack the pollen in by head-butting down into the comb.

Good times!
