Minor update from today.

A couple from the day/ morning out.

Quaking Grass (Briza Minor)

A swarm of Honey Bees at VP today 12th June 2010

This swarm was estimated at 10,000 thats a lot of Honey mummy!!

the swarming is activated by an oligarchy of bees that can emit a high pitched whistle

at which point the Queen and followers leave in search of a new nest, which will or might have been found by drones that have gone out before.
