Super! I never seen this process. Now I can imagine how beautiful it looks. They are so exquisite and sophisticated. I can't wait till I go to my granny. She's 2 000 bees, she says.
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting! Unfortunately, I heard that pesticides and certain viruses have contributed to the honeybees' decline and ruin, what is just insufficient!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen how the bees get ready to emerge. How long does this process take? Only 3 full weeks?
