As a lot of folks know, I am a queen rearing NUT.
This am, in the morning sun, this Cordovan queen was so beautifully colored in direct sunlight so I could not resist. I had to take pics. What a beautiful queen. The pic does not do justice to the queen true color. I have to resize with greatly reduces resolution. Also my iPhone XR camera is not overly impressive, just ok.

I tried to adjust for true color in this pic, however her natural Cordovan color is much more vivid in real sunlight. Such a beauty, home grown no less.
Yes Sir, yes Lady, I get excited when I see such a beautiful queen. My work paid in full. Just an old man I am, with his bees and some very special queens that I enjoy so much. This particular queen has such gentle bees, impressive calm daughters.
Health to your bees!
