You’d be surprised where a swarm of bees can lodge. This is a patio heater which had a tarpaulin cover thus making a perfect home sheltered from the elements and providing a structure for the bees to build their comb. It’s important too that the place chosen was not in the direct sun otherwise come summer time , it could get a little too hot for the bees.
Watch this fascinating insight into the Nepalese mountain villagers who introduce a visiting cameraman to the extraordinary properties of a particular kind of honey.
The source of this peculiar property is , of course, the plant flowers that the bees feed on.
If you look closely at this photograph you will discover the queen bee sitting amongst other worker bees on this box . They were rescued from a shrub at the start of winter , would you believe. Within a few minutes the queen and the workers had moved within the box. All being well they will survive during this winter in preparation for a busy Spring.
A wonderful example of the industry and energy of the honeybee colony as the evidence shows an enormous and intricately made structure housing maybe 40 000 bees.
