Center of attention, is she?  Photo taken today,  Thursday September 5,2019.  Photo taken without smoking, bare handed as my iPhone does not work with gloves.  My point, very gentle calm bees for September.

Great picture, Van.  I like the fuzzy newly hatched worker to the right of the queen.  :happy:

I noticed that also, on right of queen: all fuzzy for sure, probably hours old.

Look at that big butt and those hairy legs!
That should be enough to get any rightful beekeeper excited!

I?m calling her Lucinda - bet she makes a great cream corn.
I like southern queens.

I still cannot look at queen pics and think that narrow body is any bigger than the workers to trap by excluder

Funny - I knew it was you after I posted. As I read your post , I imagined her hail britania
So I wanted a southern gal. What a maroon!!! I so can?t wait to manage enough bees one day

Mr. Herb: What a good laugh, I almost fell backwards in my chair laughing.  Beekeeper porn.  That is a good one.
