Hi Honey!!
I think Bee Keeping is going to become as addictive as Stamping!!
Here a few shots for anyone interested, I know we shouldn’t have snooped until the weekend but it’s sooooo tempting to find out what is going on in there!!
At the top of the frame you can see white – that’s capped Honey!! Â The yellow is pollen and the black is the frame which doesn’t have any comb built on it yet. Â We can’t harvest any honey yet, as the bees need it to eat during the winter.
Here where Craig is pointing you can see a brand new bee emerging from it’s cell. Â The browny coloured cells are capped brood, bees will hatch from these. Â The white you can see on the left hand side are larve, and we’re hoping that there are more eggs and larve in the other cells.
So there you have it 🙂
Beekeeping really intrigues me — thanks for taking all of us along for the adventure!
bee-eautiful!
Nawwwwww so unbeelieevablee cute 😛 Have recently tried fresh honey and ohmagosh! Yummmmm! Sounds like fun – thanks for sharing & love the pics! x
Hey Alisa…..fab photos!! I’m lovin your bee tales!! I’d love to use your great photos in some of my year 7 classes – I teach a small unit on Bee Keeping and honey production as part of the Ag course I teach – bet the boys are loving all this!!
Once you’ve tasted the results you will definately be hooked!!! there is nothing like fresh honey from the hive… Well, the only thing that could be better is the honeycomb!! I used to help Dad all the time and its the best!! Bees are such fascinating insects and its not surprising nearly all the bees in a hive are women with all the work they do 😛
