Margaret,
One of the large hives has been wash boarding for three days now. We went out at 9 last night and they were still doing it. I got a video of it that I need to off load from the camera.

Because we are in a drought and the hives were all new this year from swarms and cutouts, the beekeeper has us feeding the bees sugar water. But there is also a lot of in/out activity with lots of pollen being brought in. I wonder what has red pollen? I know there are some blooming alfalfa fields nearby but I don't think they have red pollen.

Bees sure do like the pollen on my corn!
