"Lord let the mountains be my home"...lyrics from a Phil Lesh song that ran through my head as we worked the last apiary of the trip. We sampled bee bread (essentially stored pollen) out of several of the colonies in this apiary because the beekeeper was concerned that his bees may have been exposed to ...

a rare shot of Nathan Rice of the USDA Beltsville, MD Bee Research Lab recording notes rather then working the hives. Congratulations Nathan, it feels good to sit on that cooler doesn't it? Since we started working in the upper left hand corner of the panorama, the camera caught us just as we were going into our fi...

In the California Series of Gigapans #12-#16 are all from the same apiary. I took several Gigapans at this apiary because there was so much flight in the yard. I was hoping to capture the intensity that a bee yard sometimes has when there are thousands of bees in the air...can we get sound on these pictures???the onl...

This is a good example of how the three man team works together to sample and assess the hives in each apiary. Two men in the hives - one man recording notes and doing damage control. If you zoom in you can see that both researchers have gone into the bottom box of the hive. we go into every hive the same way, y...

This is another shot from the apiary in the California series Gigapan #9. Again these hives were bursting with bees and were some of the strongest colonies we looked at on the trip.

This Gigapan was taken just before we left this area to break for lunch. We didn't actually work in this apiary but passed by it while we were looking for other hives. I was wondering how many hives were in this yard? I haven't counted them yet but if anyone else wants to give it a shot it may help to know that ...

...in my opinion this beekeeper had the best looking hives of the trip. Many of the hives had adult bees boiling out of both brood boxes(16,17,18 frames of bees), there was a good amount of sealed brood, good brood patterns, honey, bee bread, and very few diseases or pests. This beekeeper had good looking hives to ...
