Natural Beehive


Honey Bees have built a natural beehive in the Indian tulip tree opposite our house. Popularly known as Portia tree or Pacific rosewood, a flowering tree from mallow family, continue to bloom throughout the year but shows great blossoms in warm weather should inspired the honey bees to build their hive.


The beehive shot here was from early monsoon in Nov and the beehive disappeared later and I thought the rain and winter cold should have washed away. But again in February the honey bees started to build the hive and its bigger now than what you see in these photos. I couldn’t capture it now as the density of leaves have hid the beehive

Twice we had beehive on the tree in front of my house. The tree was chopped down and we no longer have to worry about beehive.

Hi There, Hope you are doing okay and hope that Corona Virus stays FAR away from you and your family/loved ones. We are fine so far in our area with no cases in our county.... BUT--we're staying as healthy as possible ...

Love that huge Beehive... Perfect place for those bees.

Hugs,

I love to eat honey but have terrible phobia when I see a real beehive! It gives me cold feet. Muahahahaha
