A full beeyard in springtime is a welcome change from the frozen winter months.

These colonies are placed on pallets four at a time. This allows four hives to be picked up with a Swinger(think forklift like) and transported to other locations such as local apple orchards.

This honeybee was quite content with being photographed while busily working away.

The reality is that most of the time if you don't bother the bees, they won't bother you. They prefer to go about their own business, such as munching on dandelions.

Ever wonder what it would be like to land on a dandelion with a honeybee?

It's amazing what a 8 megapixel digital camera will let you photograph.

These three honeybees are gathering some of the first pollen of the year. During the spring it's every bee for herself.

The first pollen of the year makes the bees a little crazy at times.

A rack of queen cell cups are ready for the bees to finish building the queen cell.
