Apis mellifera ligustica
Our honey bees are trying to keep dry. You can see they're unhappy about all the rain we've been having these past few days. They're very gentle, hard-working bees. We're so proud of them.
These bees are widely distributed, though they tend not to winter here too well compared to Russian bees.
This is our first year keeping bees, and we plan to add on.

It's possible we'll try for honey next year, but for now we're concentrating on building a strong colony. To observe them working is sweet enough for now.
Are you raising them for your own honey?
Thank you!
Amazing pictures!
