Didn't want to hijack anyone else's thread to share some of my photos.
Hopefully some of them are education for some forum members.
Descriptions in order of photos
1.A Nucleus hive started beginning of May now almost ready for re-hiving.
2.Bees clearing honey after removal of some brace comb.
3.A charged Queen cell where the 'C' shaped larvae can be seen on a bed of royal jelly.
4.A bee exposing it's Nasonov gland
5.What happens when / if the queen gets into your supers!
more to follow
Before anybody asks all my photos are taken with a Canon Ixy 910IS (European model IXUS 860 IS) which has a great macro mode for closeups.
