Queen hatching (photos)

[keith pierce]

I tried to take a few pictures of a queen that was emerging from a cell in my incubator. She would not pose when she was coming out, so the photo is a bit grainy.

Yes. For the most of ireland, all you will get is dark bees, but there is a few pockets of buckfast and carnica.

Am i uploading the photos a bit large.

For me with ageing eyes and a 1024 pixel screen almost every picture is too big. If I can read the text I have to scroll backwards and forwards to read it and can't see the whole of the picture.

So I am for ever using ctrl + or - to change the size.
