Beekeeping

One of my enjoyable hobbies for more years than I remember. Finally a gallery to share. Temporarily missing is a queen picture. She will be making her debute in a short while. She was shy and reclusive today despite considerable time looking amoung the thousands of workers for the one mother of them all.

This gallery is meant more as a documentary on bees for those who don't venture inside a hive.

This makes a very enjoyable slideshow. I have only seen hives on television nature shows. I enjoy watching and photographing the paper wasps and their nests and bees with loads of pollen from the wild flowers. Voted.

This was very interesting. You should write a bee book for children. Seriously.

John...nice gallery for those who have never seen the inside of a bee hive.
