The Bee Space

Here is another great picture from Wikipedia.  This cute honeybee is drinking some water.  By the way, it can be hot this time of year, so be sure to have some water available for your honeybees.   Just fill a pie pan with water and place a couple of rocks in it.  Make sure the rocks rise above the water a bit to give the bees something to stand on.   The honeybees will take the water and put it into their hive.   As the bees fan their hive entrance, the water evaporates and helps to cool the beehive.  Very smart little creatures!
