@beesteem, nice to have you here. Yesterday I found this post on gardening category, and I am very happy too see that there are more poeople working with nature and its goods. Back home, I also have bees, but during my studies abroad, grandma takes care of them. Good content here, I'll come back again. :) All the best, @keyss.

I guess the queen is the one that is different color among all bees their at the center with orange or brown color something.

Yep, she has the large orange abdomen. She is much longer than the other bees, the nurse bees.

Ohh really! Glad I spotted the queen, although I dont really saw a bee hive or a queen bee ever personally! But your photos clearly pictured it out. thanks for the information.

The one with the longer torso in the center!?

Great you spotted her!

Thanks! we are beginner beekeepers and have had four hives at one point. we lost some though over a very hard winter. We learned this year how to split our hives and had some great success! hope to have many more as we learn. Following!

Well done, nice to hear your efforts. I am a natural beekeeper with 4 hives. All honey for the bees :-) have fun bzzzzz.

I always enjoy looking for queens. Do you keep bees?

Yes, 4 natural bee hives. Top bar and the german einraumbeute.

Sweet! I have always wanted to keep Bees. Do you sell the honey or eat it all yourself?

Good question. As a natural beekeeper, all the honey is for the bees. So, only AFTER wintertime in March I take out the surplus of honey. A couple of jars for friends and family. All the honey that the bees collect from that time is their winterfood. ;-)

Saw a vid of 5 Japanese Hornets destroy a whole bee hive in 10min...

Good photography carry on dear @beesteem
