Watching the bees is one of our favorite
things to do. If you sit still for a
little while, the bees will treat you
to quite a show. You'll learn about
their first flights, how clumsy they
can be when they land at their front
door and how they kick drone bees out
every fall.
These are some of our favorite videos.
We thought we would share them with
you so you can get to know our bees
as they work the Texas landscape.
Description:
This is a video was recorded
in October of 2010 at the Big
Oaks Bee Yard.
This was a busy day for the
bees as you will see - they
are still carrying in pollen
at this point.
Bees at the entrance of the
hive are guarding it against
other bees that might try and
steal some honey from the hive.
Description: This is one of
our busiest and healthiest hives
at the Big Oaks Bee Yard. The
bees are carrying in lots of
pollen - great news since we
put a pollen trap on this hive.
We collect the pollen and then
use some of it in our smoothies
for allergy treatment and we
feed some if it back to the
bees during the winter months,
when there is nothing blooming
for them.
