This week I am sharing some pictures of some beekeepers. They were looking for the queen bee. He is planning to include the queen bee in a display at the state fair.
They pry up the top layer of a hive before blowing out the bees and taking the racks home to collect their honey.
Bees swarm on a propped up honey rich rack of honeycomb during the honey robbing process.
Bee pupae at the bottom of honeycomb cells.
Bees fly back to their hive after being forced out by a gas blower so beekeepers could take home a bee-free box of honey-filled racks.

Thank you for sharing the bee keepers. I used to keep bees and I surely do miss them. It amazes me they can work their bees without gloves - I was never that brave or experienced. Brings back many fond memories and your post was a real treat.

ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteYour post brought back fond memories of when we had bees back on the farm. I use to enjoy watching the beekeepers come and extract the honey. Wonderful photos! I hope you didn't get stung trying to take any of them. Thank you for hosting.
Hi Susan! I'm so glad I found your Outdoor Wednesday link-up. I just put in my link and I'm looking forward to finding new blogs to read. I love the way you captured the whole process in your pictures. I've always found this fascinating since I don't think I'll have enough courage to be anywhere near all these bees.
ReplyDeletedangerous job, but where would we get honey without them?
ReplyDeletethat´s something always fascinating for me! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I wouldn't dare to approach to take pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Hope you are having a great week****
I would love to have a beehive in our backyard, however, our yard is just too small and there are too many kids around to make it viable. I'm just so fascinated by beehives!
ReplyDeleteFascinating photos. I love honey so it's good to see these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
I am like Barb, fascinated! And trying to figure out how I could have a hive in the yard! Loved these photos
ReplyDeleteWow Susan, what great intimate pictures of bees and their habitat! Love it.
ReplyDeleteMy brother used to keep bees on his garage roof, and also at a summer house he owned. Fabulous honey -- there is nothing like honey straight from the hive!
But I do feel a bit sorry for the bees -- they work so darned hard to make all that honey, and we go and take it.
Although it is crazy delicious. . . .
Thanks for hosting!
