Did you know Honey Bees dance to communicate. 🤓This little BEEuty has found a forage source and is sharing the exciting news and location with her sisters by dancing her little heart out for them...Can you hear the music?😍#happydance #danceparty #beekeeping #honey #gyo #honey

I keep both Russian and Italian bees. I love seeing them next to each other. The darker bee (on the right as you look at the screen) is a Russian 🐝 and the golden one (on the left of your screen) is an Italian 🐝#diversity #russianbees #honey #beekeeping #gyo #sustainableliving

Pollen overload. 😮 This BEEuty did head for home shortly after this 😂 but definitely flying tipsy because of her loaded pollen baskets😍 #goinggoinggone #lovebees #macrovideography #holdon #pollen #nature #gyo #gardeninglife #beewitchedhoney #naturephotography

The #retinue is the group of workers that attend the #Queen. The workers in the retinue will feed her and groom her. The retinue is made up of bees that are about brood rearing age. The particular bees in the retinue will change as she moves about the #hive. #beekeeping #queenbee

Some may look at this little bee and all those flowers and say,”that is impossible, it is too much work, there are just too many flowers.” But others will see that same little #bee and say “Oh the #honey she will make!” 🌸See the possibilities🌸 #attitudeiseverything #nature #gyo

Forager #bees collect #nectar from #flowers. Once back at the #hive they transfer this nectar to a receiving #bee. The receiver will deposit it safely into the #honeycomb! This transfer of nectar from #forager to receiver is just one of the steps to making #honey #beekeeping #gyo

She’s the #Queen. She has it all. Right? Sometimes the people that seem to have it all, are the ones that need a friend the most. 1-800-273-8255 the #NationalSuicideLifeline USA. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #WSPD2018 #bethe1to #itsokaytotalk #hopehappens #youmatter #suicide

Flower Crab Spider. A beautiful assassin. This #spider uses #stealth to #prey on unsuspecting #pollinators as they visit #flowers.

Nectar is getting scarce! This #honey #bee wants it all for her and her #sisters. #heythatsmyflower #monarch #butterflies #winteriscoming #beekeeping #naturephotography #macrophotography #beekeeper

#Propolis Another amazing component of the #hive. Often called “#bee glue”, the #honey bees use this to seal off any crevices or drafts in the hive. It is also believed to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and #antiinflammatory properties and to contribute to hive #immunity.

Fall is nearly over, snow is in the forecast for tomorrow. I got my last feeding in, now time to #winterize and say “see you on the flip side to the ladies!” #beekeeperslife #beekeeping #fall2018 #stewardship

Top entrances are important during Winter, not only to improve airflow but also to allow an exit for the bees should the bottom of the #hive become blocked with snow or dead #bees remove snow and any dead bees with your hive tool to ensure proper ventilation throughout the hive.
