Foraging around

Sunday, April 29, 2012 a quick visit. So I stopped by Acorn Hill just to check in on the ladies. I looked in the feeder to make sure there was enough syrup. There seemed liked there was plenty and there weren't many more new dead bees, and there is a good pollen flow so the syrup isn't wildly popular. I returned the covers and hung around the hive for a little while just to watch the activity. There was lots of foraging going on. Heaps of bees coming and going. It was incredible to watch how many bees were returning with bright yellow and orange sacs full of pollen on their legs.

If you watch the video you will see in just a very short time there are five or six bees loaded with pollen returning home. I can't wait to see what's going on inside next time I open up the hive. Hope you enjoy a short clip from Acorn Hill.
