| Brood comb, with the occasional pocket of bee bread (combination of nectar and pollen) that's the darker hexagons you see. |

| Queen, (she's the one with the yellow dot) |
I am so amazed at how little I knew about honeybees, ie yellow dot on the queen to differentiate.(I always thought she wore a crown.:):)
ReplyDeleteHope Dad ok.
