Bee forage is back online

Honeybee working Thistle flower. Thistles are a fabulous source of
good nectar and pollen. One of the most important flowers at this
time of the year. Thistles are no weed, they are pure gold if you ask me :)

The bee forage was very good all the way from Spring to about the time Rapeseed/Canola stopped blooming. After that there was not much left except some Raspberry and wild rose bushes. One local beekeeper noticed bees collecting honey dew from Plant Lice/Aphids.
Now the nectar flow is back in form of Thistles and White Clover :) and I see busy bees again!
