The Stalker....
It was such I nice morning that I went out early and took a look the the bee houses. I noticed in front of me a "couple" mating. It was quite a site and I have not ever seen a picture of this event. Thinking I was witness to a rare sight, I grabbed my camera and snapped a couple of pictures. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a stalker or wacko, I just was happy to see nature at work and to know I would have some more cocoons for next year.
I also got a couple of pictures of some females flying in and out of the tubes. I was fun to sit there and have them buzz past me and not really pay any mind to me.
Note the female in the upper right hand corner of the house. After a few hours, this tube was full! That means she laid 5 -8 cocoons. I am so happy.
You need to step it up a notch and get some real honey bees. I want to see pics of you walking around in the bee suit looking like Darth Vader with the smoke pot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gary - I big WHITE suit is more of what I would wear sort of like the stay-puff-marshmallow man!
