The queen lays 1500 eggs per day during a summer day - every day - that's quite a bit of work. Drones are males who do absolutely nothing unless they are needed to fertilize a new queen. Some people say that bees are a perfect society - everyone works, there's little waste, and no fighting within a colony. The CEO - A tiny piece at a time. This is such a big time in the bee world with Colony Collapse Disorder and the like. We'll work through it together? Tommie – Well, now you do! :)

I'll keep reading what you write so I learn some more about them. Good luck! I’ll go put in the existential fix for the bees. I’ll keep reading what you write so I learn some more about them.

I clicked your link and it was fascinating. The part of me that is a staunch egalitarian has always disliked the fact that the queen bee has all the fun while the drones are of a lower caste and merely serve her. I know. They're bees. And I do find them really interesting (and love honey.) I’m sorry about the Russian bees. I clicked your link and it was fascinating.

There's no way for a bee to get in. Plus, if you treat your bees right, they will be kind to you. They recognize faces. Christy - Thanks for the well wishes! We'll see how the year turns out. The CEO - I will post more this year as it's going to be an experimental year all the way around. Crossing fingers help.... Claudia - Me too. Time will tell. Mimi - Hey thanks! So fun to see my message up there! :) Squirrelly - I'm venturing into a no med year. So it shall be interesting to see how it turns out. Luck is necessary. We have contemplated mead. Our neighbor is keen to make it. We're just not there yet - mead can be delicious, so wonderful and really heinous.

I hope you can rescue the other Italian hive. Still, it could have been worse. Congrats that you have the one healthy hive from which I am sure you can rebuild. Have you ever thought of making mead?
