Drone Bee
I was fairly convinced there was no OSR near my hives. I was wrong. Today I spotted this field in flower about a mile or so away. I’m guessing the bees will definitely find it?
Should it affect the management of my colonies? No supers on as yet. The bees were very busy today despite the cool temps and there was a lot of yellow pollen going in. Many bees with full pollen sacs struggling on the floor under the hive, presumably exhausted.
