Leo - It was pretty sunny last Friday, but luckily another storm is here now. I've seen some hive boxes out on the Reynolds Highway, and I haven't heard anything locally about bees in trouble. I've also seen a couple of local honey brands on the Mariposa shelves, so they must be okay so far.
P - As Leo alludes, we all worry for the health of these guys. It seems right that we have heightened gratefulness for them.
Kym - Thank you! I took nearly a dozen shots, but my focus failed on most of them. This guy was in the right place at the right time.
Marc - I don't know much about the life cycles of bees. Wherever the winter blooming rosemary is, they seem to show up for it. I was glad to discover a bunch of them working on this willow.
beautiful up close shot :)
ReplyDeleteThe bee seems to snuggle away from the cold air. I wonder, do bees feel cold?
ReplyDeleteHow are the bee keepers of Willits, by the way? Are they seeing colony collapse disorder in their hives?
I'm happy to see a healthy bee! John and I found a busy hive last week, and I'm not telling where. It's a rare pleasure lately to see them doing well.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful close-up.
This is a nice photo in the small size shown here but when I clicked on it, I loved it.
ReplyDeleteOur bees only come out around summertime. Nice picture though.
ReplyDeleteBabzy - Thank you.
