Bees, deer, fox. Sounds like a healthy little eco-system. Even the snakes. Nothing like getting to intimately know a little piece of this earth. Nice to walk past the same rock formation in all different seasons and all different weather. Have a great weekend @senorcoconut
I like to sit in front of the beehives and look at all the different kinds of pollen that the bees are collecting. Individual bees concentrate on one type of flower at a time, so if there is more than one bloom happening each bee will have a different color pollen. Yellow and light tan are the most common colors, but sometimes you see green or blue pollen.
Some beekeepers harvest pollen with a device on the hive entrance that brushes the pollen pellet off of the bees' legs as they enter the hive. I've never tried that on my hives, but I have harvested pollen from the combs and made special jars of honey with extra pollen for friends who are allergy sufferers.
That's pretty amazing stuff... I guess I never really looked at bees all that close! I was a city boy for a long time. Blue pollen too? Thank you so much for all that info, I like that they all go home with different pollen when different flowers are in bloom. Very cool.
Oh I have so much respect for bees and all that they do for us, they are indeed such awesome creatures and something we should all celebrate. Love the amount of passion I felt reading this, nothing better than getting such a buzz from being out in nature and being in awe of her beauty xxx

Ah thank you so much @steven-patrick!!! I had an excellent weekend and I hope you did too.
I love it out here, getting to see all the four seasons in the same spot... learning the lay of the land for sure here!

Thanks again
I get like a kid at Christmas with bees too. Love them. We were given a hive but the bees seem to have disappeared from it.. totally gutted!!!

Disappeared... that's a drag! I know we don't have the bandwidth to take care of bees right now! One day though, I'd love it
