Day #254 Sheltered from the Rain

We had a driving rainstorm on Wednesday, and I could see clusters of bees hanging beneath the screen on the bottom of the hive, each bee attached by at least four legs to other bees above and below. I tried to get a picture of them (before it started to rain), but there were too many shadows.

I have to wonder, though, if the bees at the top end up with joint problems. After all, having a couple of hundred sisters hanging on HAS to add up to a lot of weight.

Add the 99% Georgia humidity to that equation, and I must give my honey bees a blue ribbon for strength and endurance.

 

BEEattitude for Day # 254:

       Blessed are those who lend a leg to their sisters, for they shall help to form a living sculpture.
