DSC_0031 - Copy (2) - Copy.JPGFor now it appears that theΒ  honey bee “robbers” have been repelled by the bees that “adopted” the hive more than two weeks ago. Access to the hive is still limited to a narrow entrance. The hive, itself, is full of buzzing during the day and pollen is coming in, not going out.Β  This photo was taken shortly after a battle–note there is loose pollen behind this bee. The bees have since cleaned the area.

    Amazing little guys.. We have two hives again. Our strong one swarmed on our patio umbrella and bee man was able to get them in a box. They are all working like crazy..

    Bees can be very clever at robbing other hives of their honey. Thieves even in the insect world. I used to keep bees many years ago when i was way younger. πŸ™‚

    The “67” refers to 1967, a year of big decisions for me. I passed age 67 a few years ago.
