Description

Over the next few days I hope to put up some new Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) shots from bees collected at the many hives here at the Beltsville Agriculture Research Center maintained by bee whisperer Francisco Posada. In part we are focusing on the plumage differences, showing the variation between dark and light bodied individuals. 00:47, 1 July 2017 (UTC)00:47, 1 July 2017 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}00:47, 1 July 2017 (UTC)00:47, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
