Queen Bee back from Venice

Now for some proper "beekeeping"!

Yes, we had a ride on a gondola!Add caption

 When we arrived back home the wisteria was just opening and it was literally buzzing.




Now don't mock!  Yes that is a black Northern bee. It took me a good 20mins. of
patient waiting to get this very inferior shot.
 

The perfume from the wisteria fills the house.On my next venture into the hives I will be counting how many brood combs have been filled - and then judge the strength of each colony - and then decide what to do next!  QB back soon.
