Our bee's loooove these tiny delicate little purple-y blue-ish flowers; if I was a farmer I'd actually know what this is... buckwheat maybe? It's actually a weed to me because its growing in my garden but ya know what? Its serving a purpose for the bees so I'll let it be for a while.
They also seem to really love this horribly awful yet so mysteriously beautiful weed... the dreaded thistle. I know its cute isn't it? But it's sharp and really hard to yank out of the garden no matter what. Actually I think of Eeyore every time I see one and I just can't help but smile. Oh, you dopey little old donkey.
As I yanked weeds left and right from the garden I heard this deep doning hum around me and looked up to see this big beauty buzzing around. Everytime she sat on a flower to nibble a snack the flower sagged under her weight. Check out her pollen sacs on her legs - she's been busy!
Its almost honey harvesting/extracting time!!! Look at what my bees have been busy doing recently. The ladies have been busy.
There was extra room in the hive because we didn't have all 10 frames in so they decided to make their own frame. It was solid honeycomb that they were filling with honey.
Pretty neat huh?
