Calloo! Callay!


On my way back from pike fishing I checked the hive entrance. Curiously, there were bees leaving and arriving. The bees in near-by hives are a very different colour and marking, and it might be possible that my girls survived after all. Or the bees in my hive are robbers. The weather is warm-ish at present, so I shall leave them for a week, and hope to complete a full hive inspection this week-end.

Bee links


How about this for a set of links? Visit http://beeclubpellas.blogspot.com/ and look down the left-hand side.


Plus, there is obviously some clever stuff going on with hive design, take a look at the pictures in the main blog.


From my dodgy understanding of the Greek alphabet, the first word would translate as something like 'bee diary' ('melissokomikos'). Great minds think alike.
