Mon ciste rose attire toujours autant les abeilles

Just a few fruit left on this historic variety in the historic orchard in the Jardin du Luxembourg

I apologise if the tune keeps buzzing round your head all day. :o)

It wasn't really cold and frosty, it just fitted with the shot.

I couldn't believe that these cows were actually standing on the wall. the next shot will give an idea of how high it is.

Opuntia Lindheimeri var. Linguiformis

Abeille à miel.

Apis mellifera ligustica, dite abeille italienne, ou abeille jaune, est une sous-espèce d'abeilles élevée pour son miel.

Apparue au sud des Alpes italiennes, en Ligurie qui lui a donné son nom, elle est, avec la Buckfast, la plus répandue des abeilles. Elle est répartie dans l'ensemble de l'Italie. Les qualités de cette abeille en ont fait la plus exportée au monde, notamment sur les continents américain et australien. Elle a également été introduite en Nouvelle-Calédonie.

Honey Bees are one of the most recognisable insects and are the most commonly domesticated bee species in the world. They are somewhat variable in colour but are usually brown with a banded dull yellow and brown abdomen. The head, thorax and abdomen are densely covered in hair. The legs and around the eyes are also hairy. These highly social insects live in large hives dominated by a single queen. The queen is larger than workers or the male drones, and is responsible for egg laying and for controlling the hive using pheromones. The majority of the hive is made up of worker bees that build and maintain the hive, and collect nectar and pollen to feed the developing bee larvae.
