Title: New Bees
Post by: 2-Wheeler on April 27, 2008, 08:34:42 pm
We put in some new bees last week, and took a few snapshots during the inspection this week. Click any to go to the Flickr page.

The last two pictures are from the mature hive, but show a new bee just emerging from the capped cell.

Thanks. Since I'm afraid of getting propolis and honey on the Nikon D200, I usually shoot the bees with the little pocket point & shoot camera. The macro seems to work pretty good.
