Here's my little ladies hard at work. They started to gather at the entrance just before it started to sprinkle a little rain. They all finally disappeared inside as the rain started coming down a little harder.
Don't have too say, get out of the rain girls...Smart little ladies...amazing...

New Learning Experience With Bees

Today, turned in to a rainy day. So, I started wondering what bees did if the weather changed from a sprinkle to a good down pour.
So, when it started to sprinkle I stood out front of the hive and just watched what was going on...
I now give a lot of credit to bees and saw first hand just how smart they are. As the rain sprinkled. They still flew around the hive and not to far across the yard from the hive. After a few minutes I noticed that most of them started flying in front of their opening but still not landing. Then the rain picked up just a little more and I saw the landing gear extend and they began dropping in on the landing deck on the front of the hive.
From there they crawled right on in out of the rain...It was funny watching..No one had to tell them to get out of the rain..
Bees are little creatures but, smarter then some I have known....smilessssss....!
After the rain it was a little cool. A few did come back out but most still stayed in and dry. It was also later in the day and I guess they decided to just call it a day and start over tomorrow morning when the sun comes up...Love my little ladies...
