Honey Bees' at Work

I just happened to walk by some Peony blooms the other day and noticed the honey bees were all over the blooms.  They were darting in and out of the flowers.  As soon as one would leave another would drop into the flower to get the pollen to take back to the hive.

You can see the bee has the yellow pods on its legs but is still trying load up more.  

They were working as hard as they could.  With it being an early spring and the plants blooming, I am sure they have many choices.  It would be nice to be able to rob this hive but it is in the walls of the house.  It is hard to get to so it will be left alone.  This hive has been active for over sixty years and is still going strong today. 

Hopefully this hive can stay strong as other colonies of honeybees have died off from mites or other causes.
