| Description: | Honeybee Apis mellifera collecting pollen from Winter aconite Eranthis sp. and packing it on her back legs to carry it back to the hive. This photograph was taken on a cold February day. Early in springtime the honeybee colony population is building up. A supply of fresh pollen is important for feeding young brood. In cool weather bees can only forage over short distances without getting chilled. These aconites were planted on a sunny bank about 50 meters from the apiary. Planting bee-friendly plants; having something in flower each month of the year, is of great benefit to honeybees and other pollinating insects. |

| Description: | THE HONEYBEE’S LONG TONGUE
I captured this photograph when I went to top of the syrup, I found that there was a little syrup left in the feeder, this honey bee had managed to push herself through a small hole to enable her to reach the remaining syrup. |
