This is home of The Bees In The Dale and novice beekeeping tales along the Backwards and truly Organic Way. The bees are feral bees collected from wild swarms. Bees do it all alone, no help from me, no drugs, no meds, no treatments by humans, just shelter and water.

Bee Eggs
In the last post about Tricia's Bees, I had a picture of the bees on comb with eggs and larvae. Due to the way I loaded the pictures they are not full size and it may not be easy to see the eggs. Here are a blow up and also the original size photo. Click on the pictures to get a wider image.
Look in the cell just off the bee's wing tip.
Most of the cells above and along side the bees have larvae. The eggs are in the lower cells. The Queen tends to work in a circle pattern working towards the outside which is probably the reason for the location of the eggs and larvae.
