Looking for love...the drone honeybee

After a late cold snap the girls are out on a crisp 47F day. I left a couple of unused sugar boards leaning against my shed with the intention of picking them up later (2 weeks ago). The ever industrious girls are siezing the opportunity to improve their chances against the competing weather. Kevin

Brood rearing means lots of water will be required for the bees.  You'll see te girls drinking from any pool of water they can find.
