Honey bees. . .
In the past I have kept bees. They are the most fascinating critters. It is a most enjoyable hobby. Unfortunately at this time, it is a very difficult hobby. Keeping bees alive today, with all the various things they have working against them, is very difficult. Please be aware of your use of pesticides, etc.. Avoid spraying your fruit trees, or even your lawn, when nectar and pollen sources are in bloom. . .
Very nice. When my wife and I finally find a place to settle down, I plan to get a couple hives.

Excellent shots!
I too, keep 1 hive. The 1st one I had, they were called Black German (wild). They were honey making machines! And came out stinger first!!! I remember one time I went to check them, couldn't get the cover back on fast enough, lol. Wish I still had that strain...
Thanks for posting!
Great shots. What are the flowers in the pics?
