Yesterday's weather started out grey and cool but developed into a lovely sunny afternoon/evening, but its been gray skies and sprinkles all day today.
The bees have stayed mostly inside today with just few sent out with only one or two bees arriving and leaving every minute or so, as opposed to 16 or more every minute observed on bright sunny days.
The Neighbor said the bees had been all over his thyme and that they had been drinking from his bird bath. I told him, "No charge for the pollination service."
He asked me, "How many bees are there?" and i didn't know what to say. "Hundreds and hundreds of them" was my best guess.
According to http://www.badbeekeeping.com/, there are about 3000 worker bees to the pound so I guess I could have said "thousands" and still been right.
