Bees Up Close

Lauren, James’ sister, took some amazing photos of the bees. There are a few hives we brought back from the community garden that were infested with wax moths (which can destroy a hive rather quickly). The bees in these pictures are gathering the leftover beeswax on the frames, balling them up and transferring them from one set of legs to the next and adding the beeswax to their pollen baskets. Amazing detail in these photos!
