abundant friendly birds




Humming birds are well fed and friendly.



Today we again found excessive numbers of drones and drone cells as seen in the lower right hand corner of the picture of bur comb. We did remove about 10 quarts of great tasting comb honey. A bee found its way into Mary's hood and suit, notice picture Mary removing hood and running. We used special dried leaves to lightly smoke the bees and that did calm them.
