What are your bees foraging on this week?

[richardbees]

Exactly the same as Suzi (but without the tree peony)

Nettle is in flower but no bees on it

I was walking to get some lunch yesterday and noticed lots of nettle, my first thought was do they flower and would bees forage! Being very new to beekeeping it's strange ( for me) to look at plants and start thinking about pollen nectar and bees!

I've noticed mine on cotoneaster, bluebell and comfrey.

Rowan, Hawthorn just coming, Horse Chestnut, Cotoneaster.
Neighbour's Rhododendron was humming this afternoon when the sun came out.
Still some sycamore out.

Mine are bringing in loads of the same from hawthorn, which is now in full flower.

OSR mainly, but also cotoneaster and hawthorne.

A few of mine are cleaning up the propolis from a queen excluder I removed recently and left out in the sun to soften up. This one looks a little dark to be one of my carnies though, so maybe from another colony nearby... you can see a decent sized ball of it on her hind leg.
