This is a video of my beeyard on the deck behind my house. I set up a tripod with my digital camera on it to film the activity at Proteus. I love how golden the bees look in the sun.
Since I took this in the middle of the afternoon and wasn't fully suited, I didn't take the camera closer to the other two hives because I didn't want to walk, carrying the tripod, through the buzzing busy flight paths. (I usually go behind a tree on the deck to go to the other hives when Proteus is this active.)
It's fun to hear and see the bees buzzing!
Hope you enjoyed it!
This is the tale that began in 2006 in my first year of beekeeping in Atlanta, GA. ...there's still so much to learn.

I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here.Master Beekeeper Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

Boy! Linda your bee hives are building up strong. I really enjoyed the video and getting to see someone else bees in action. :) Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your Proteus hive is really active--it's good to see that as a reference, so if my hive gets that busy, I know that that is normal.
