I present to you a new hive of bees I am now calling Hester Prynne because they are industrious workers despite my earlier doubts about them. If you don't keep bees, what they're doing here is building comb on the divider wall of a top bar hive, which is a no-no. But, you gotta give them props for being so diligent.

I have another hive named Antigone, and with a friend I maintain two more hives, Jane Eyre and Prince.

AmandaL That is so cool! 8y
DragonSadhana @AmandaL Thanks! Interested in beekeeping? It's a fascinating hobby with some cool benefits. The only downside is the initial investment. 🐝 8y

DragonSadhana Glad you like it! @Mommamanzi 8y
AmandaL @DragonSadhana I am! I used to live in a rural area, where it was common to keep bees, but we moved before I could do more than read about it. Where I live now, neighborhood pesticide use makes it impossible. I love seeing other people's agricultural pursuits though. 😁 8y
JazzFeathers I don't think l'd be able to keep a hive, but l do find bees fascinating. And they are so important for our planet 8y
DragonSadhana @AmandaL Neighborhood pesticides! That is really too bad. I have one neighbor who I am sure sprays their lawn, and I just hope my bees never go there. They don't have any flowering nectar plants anyway (no dandelions in the lawn and the gardens are all manicured shrubs), but I worry nonetheless! 8y
DragonSadhana @JazzFeathers Maybe you can help by planting native nectar plants in your area? Then you'll have your own visiting bees - native bees and the European honeybee. 🌼🌸🐝 8y
