What my bees do all day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmAAQSGg22Q#ws)
Nice little video!
Looks like you have some busy bees there.

What plants were the girls working?
In this case they were on California poppies (Escholtzia californica)-great for pollen but little nectar, Lambs ears (Stachys byzantina), Catnip (Nepeta 'Six hill's Giant') -great for aromatic nectar, and California sage (Salvia clevelandii) Very aromatic and good nectar.
Cool vidio. My girls just go to Cosco and Wegman's. :lau:
That was really nice, very sweet video. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks so much. I used a Canon powershot SD1300. It is inexpensive (<$150) but produces amazing photos and video. You have to spend time learning how to use it, though.
Was the one bee on the Lamb's Ear a Caucasian? All yellow? What a beautiful bee.
i myself watch my bees whenever i get the time and my family thinks me mad :lau:
Watching bees (or anything in nature) is certainly better and a lot more interesting/entertaining than watching TV.
Its those who do not watch (who do not care) that cause me concern. I fear the non-watchers greatly outnumber the watchers which can explain much, although it does little to reduce the frustration of it all.
Thanks for the video.

Great Video. Thanks for posting.

Sweet video
Nice work with the camera enchplant! I liked the lambs ear part. Maybe I shouldn't have just pulled out a whole bed of the stuff. It is invasive around here.
I agree with Thomas, watching nature is so much more rewarding than watching TV. I love to sit and watch the entrance of my hives. There is something very relaxing about seeing so much work being done without constant arguing.

ditto. I love to sit and have my morning coffee watching the girls come and go.

Thanks so much. The yellow bee was an italian cordovan. The queen came from Koehnen's in California. They sell great big queens that produce productive bees. http://www.koehnen.com
Thanks, Too many different bees and I have too few hives. I guess that I will have to get a big bee yard in the future.
Love it! Thanks for sharing:)
