The bees and the bees
With the invasion of the varroa bee mite there has been a reduction in the number of nearby hives (both wild and domestic).
I was surprised and relieved to witness a large number of bumble and honey bees servicing the apricot tree.
This photos shows one of the more wild bees. Notice the dark colouring, where 'normal' bees are orange an black striped.
