What a change in the weather and the bees are loving it. With no rain, and the sun to help the flowers bloom, they're out collecting the pollen and nectar necessary to sustain developing bees. You have to look closely but there they are - coming into land or preparing to take off. 



And inside the hive, all is well. The queen is laying like crazy and the nurse bees are feeding the worker larvae with a mixture of the pollen and nectar (called bee bread).

There was a lovely contented buzz in the hive today. More like a gently hum, really.  Bliss.
