Today, I saw some bees hauling up loads of white pollen on both of their pollen baskets. It was amazing to see it for real. Also, this afternoon, I noticed several bees are clinging in front wall of the hive. They were motionless. A few seconds later after I arrived, they all went inside. At first, I thought I scared them. I went to see what was going on at the back of the hive. As usual, there were plenty of bees outside. I think they are expanding the nest outside the box. Then, I noticed it. Lots of them have drops of liquid on their mandibles! Could they be dumping the liquid at the side of the box to expand the hive? I took a look at the front of the hive and the bees were there again. This time, I also noticed the liquid on their mouth. The bees seem very busy. They seem to be working double-time taking advantage of the good weather, because they know that the rainy season is here.
