RSPB nature calendar 2013 entered
First time for everything so I have entered the RSPB calendar competition with my honeybee photo. As a total amateur and up against some fantastic photos don't stand a chance but you got to be in it to try! Take a look at the entries and find mine it's by junctiongirl and leave a comment by all means

Glorious March, Bees and Blossom
What a beautiful weekend it has been, glorious weather and so good for the bees who would believe it was still only March. I am happy to report that after inspecting our apiary all 12 hives have come through the winter.The bees are already extremely busy bringing in the pollen and nectar from the dandelions, damson blossom and ribes from what I can see in the garden.
The opportunity today was to good to miss so I stopped my chores for half an hour in the garden watching the bees and managed to get some lovely photos.
