Re: AW Insect Book: Sawflies, Wasps, Bees & Ants (Hymenoptera)

Post by okie »

I have some honey bees in hives on the farm , but since I's allergic to bee-stings , I cannot work with the bees to extract the honey , etc .

So , I have this done by a neighbour on a share/share basis . And therefore I can also offer honey for sale amongst the other products that I make here on the farm .

In his honey-extracting room , the neighbour has a glass hive , in which one can view the bees hard at work .
Absolutely fascinating ^Q^

Here is a pic taken with my cell-phone about an hour ago :
