Found a Queen

This was an interesting find today. I had the drippings left over from extracting honey. The stuff that comes from the was you get decapping. This lady flew right in and got herself stuck. This late in the year there is little chance that she's a viable queen. Most likely unfertilized and pretty much doomed. However, I let her loose on a empty box that I've been letting the local wild bees clean out for me on the back deck. Maybe she'll find something to do there or follow some bees home or something. I dunno.

What I've been up to

Just a couple pictures about what I've been up to recently.
