7° here this morning... and another storm rolling in. 
Today is three brood cycles and two weeks from our main flow. Hang in there, girls!

Looks like some wacky form of bee-fruit!

OK, I have planted sunflowers but I have never seen bees on them like that. What is so special about those plants? Did someone spray them with a bee pheromone?

I guess the swarm needed to pick up some pollen on the way to the hew hive! Not mine, just a cool pic I ran across. A fellow can dream, tho!

That would be an easy swarm to capture. I was never that lucky. I understand that bees go to a waiting area when they swarm and wait for the scouts to come back with a suitable nesting spot and then leave again. I guess they might as well wait there as anywhere.

It very easily could have been staged, by tying on a caged queen and then turning a bunch of workers loose, the same way they do "bee beards" on people.

Staged or not, it's a cool picture.
