Sunbathing

Thermometer shows around +40°C, the air temperature around +13°C while rose an hour or so later to +15°C. The strong colony were very busy and thoroughly enjoying stretching their wings. The weaker and I fear as good as dead colony is showing minimal signs of life, an occasional bee coming out but looking & acting very weak. An hour after this shot they seemed a bit livelier. Well leave everything under wraps until the end of the week when the weather is due to get a bit cooler. Let them use every second to recharge battery and not stress them with my poking around.
