Even though it was hot today, the bees are displaying fall-like behavior. I spent several hours today photographing my beehive and observing the activity around the hive. As I sat with my macro lens in hand, I got a great picture of a worker bee forcing a drone from the hive. I noticed several dead drones on the ground in front of the hive. This is typical beehavior in preparation for winter. Drones are a liability to the hive in the winter months and therefore must go.
