Posted - 09 Jun 2009 : 11:36:19 PM great pic - ask him for a damsel fly next please!!
we have bees everyehere again this year - bumbles in the feed and rug stores, and standard brown bees nesting in a stable door - they crawl in through 1 old screwhole, and out through another. I often catch teh 3yr old colt watching them and nuzzling them - very content to share his house with the bees! |

Posted - 09 Jun 2009 : 10:48:26 PM What a boldly-coloured little bumble bee and I love the way her proboscis is buried deep into the flower, having a good drink of nectar! Many people confuse the smaller species of bumble bees with honey bees.
I've become an Apiarist in the last year or so and have a hive in my garden, and harvested 20lb of honey in my first season. |

I look after honey bee's at my son's school. Will have to try and take some pictures this week when I open the hives. |
