Description
On a hot summer day, these honey bees (Apis)are very bush doing what they are supposed to be doing: gathering nectar and pollen that will be used as food for the colony, pollinating the plants in the garden . . . and making honey that will be harvested and enjoyed by the bee keeper who owns this hive. As you can see, the entrance to the hive is very narrow, too narrow to allow a view of the goings-on inside, but wide enough to allow the insects easy egress and access to the interior. Watching these honeybees go about their work surely adds meaning to the common simile, "busy as a bee".
