... first for me!  The dragonfly (?) willingly posed for me that was greatly appreciated after all the butterfly antics. No idea what type of dragonfly it is? I am wondering if it is a female blue dasher? Any suggestions gratefully received.

On the beehives front. Two new Queens need to be introduced (re-queened) to two hives. Helped with the cleaning and prep - first time I was given hands-on duties .... Fingers crossed they will be accepted and the drones will take to the new pheromones. I learnt about bee bread and drones on guard duty at the hive entrances. All very fascinating.
