Today’s flowers: clover with bees. 🌱
Related to the slow-mo video I posted earlier today, here’s a close-up photo of bees in the bee water pool. 🐝
On the Dejus YouTube channel: Slow-motion bees in the bee pool. We have a pool from which our bees can drink, filled with rocks for them to land on so they don’t drown. This is a slow-motion recording of bees drinking and flying above the pool. 🐝
On the Dejus YouTube channel: while taking photos of flowers, I captured four short clips of slow motion bumble bees and a honey bee. 🐝
Today’s color is yellow. An unused shot of yellow straw, yellow bee nucs, yellow bees, and a yellow tie-down strap in the back of our truck when we recently picked up a couple of nucs and other supplies. 📷🌈 #mbmay
On the homestead blog: yesterday we picked up and set up two nucs — nucleus bee hives, i.e. small starter hives. 🐝
A deer walking in front of the beehives, with another behind. 🦌🐝
On the homestead blog: beehive split before they split. An unexpected intervention to avoid losing half of the yellow hive to swarming. 🐝
