Smokey Mountain

back at the bees, love the view through the smoke. They build honeycomb above the frames when they run out of room.

How wonderful to see bees. Two years ago, varroa mite was detected in bee hives here in our area and all the bees were destroyed. We still don't see bees apart from the occasional native bee or the blue banded bees. It is so sad. I hope the plants survive. They have stopped destroying the hives now, but it will be a long time to get things back to normal again.

@onewing I am new to this world, but my friend has been able to bring one of his hives back and thriving from verroa, but he lost 4 this year to the worse AFB and had to burn the hives.
