Chicken boarders

[Old Speckled Hen]

My bees are bringing in fluorescent orange pollen from somewhere and we have had a few days of really warm weather. The hills are purple with heather and buzzing with bees, I hope some are mine

Mine are all coming back with the distinctive white "stamp" on their thorax, indicating they've found some Himalayan Balsam.

 

They are still bringing in pollen too, which I'm hoping is a good sign the queen is busy knocking out new winter bees for the colony. Must do an inspection and get my Apiguard on today.
