Sunny winter days

 The bees reminded us just how much they love the sunshine, even in the middle of the winter. On a sunny day just after New Years eve, the bees were out in full force. These pictures were taken by our bee friend Ivo Frank who was staying at Embercombe. The bees were all over these flowers and the hive entrances were as busy as a summers day...

Its such a joy to get a midwinter peek at the bees. As the beekeeper, I feel myself relax a little to see them all flying and full of energy.
