Hi All,
Once again, thanks for your input. Much appreciated.
'Brian' I can confirm once again that my bees certainly appear to be very gentle. I sat with them this afternoon (taking more pics - see attached), and there wasn't the slightest amount of aggression forth coming. Far from it in fact. Just bees foraging, and lots of it. Does that indicate anything to you?
'Anybrew2': To answer your question, yes they all do seem to be the same colour. I took a few more pics this afternoon (see additional pics), and i must admit that i think you may be right (ie Golden Italian). Although mine don't appear to be overly 'Golden'. Bill 'almost' seems to agree, however he throws a very interesting and credible 'curve ball' with his 'European Dark Bee' mutation slide. Don't ya think??? Does anyone have any further opinion on this? if so, I'd be very interest to hear your thoughts. Brian/Anybrew 2, what do you guys think?
I've added 3 more pics (taken today). I'm hoping they'll help with the identification of my bees.
Regards,
Paul.
