Bee Babies

We spent time looking at the photos that HE and Erica had taken on their last foray into beeland and noticed that you can actually see the bee larvae in one stage or another. The eggs, larvae and pupa are referred to as brood. It was an exciting discovery.

This is one of the things you look for in a newly installed hive~brood pattern means the queen is healthy and laying. If not, the hive is in danger. Without a queen it cannot survive.
