What season is it? Thunder in January!? A hike today out to the
bee hives revealed that the honeybees are taking advantage of these recent warm
days. With temperatures near 60 degrees, they were observed taking turns flying
in and out of the hives. They certainly are not looking for nectar or pollen
this time of year. They are so intent on keeping a tidy hive, they "hold it" and patiently
wait for these warm days to fly out of the hive and relieve themselves!
Look closely...can you see the bee?
Now look again...can you find her poop splat on the hive?
As the bees were busy, a white-tailed deer meandered
in front of the hives. She moved slowly and fearlessly, crossing right through
the flight pattern of the bees. It makes you wonder what the relationship is
between these hoofed animals and these tiny winged creatures during the many
hours that are not observed by human eyes!
Are you as interested in bees as this deer is?
You’re in luck! Sign up for our Beginner Beekeeping Workshop on March 2nd.
