🐝🐝🐝

A quick check on the bees. During a brief moment of sun the bees take to the air in their constant search for nectar and pollen from flowers in Hyde Park.

The activity at both hives looks good. There wasn't enough time to check on the queen cages, but a simple inspection of the entrance provides clues to what's happening on the inside.

Bees coming and going through the entrance and flying off in just a couple directions shows that the scouts have found flowers and that the hive is responding to their news.






The entrance can be a crowded place with workers coming and going from the hive.

I don't see any pollen in this picture but I'm sure we'll see some soon enough!
