I'm getting back into beekeeping. It's been at least 15 years since I last helped out with Dad's bees, so I'm a bit rusty, but now have a hive in the backyard and the gear to feel confident working on them. Can you spot the queen bee in the photo? She's longer than the small worker bees and slimmer than the fatter drone bees. The other bees also leave a bit of an air gap around her.
