Venturing out to build a new life in a new hive, Western Honeybees rest overnight, a vibrant, moving mass hanging from a lichen-covered branch. The air is cool, but it will be warm today and the bees will move on. The mass of bees pulses with suppressed energy. Occasional bees fly out and back; others seek to nestle in, closer to their queen at the center, as they keep each other warm.
Here are two galleries. The first documents the swarm of bees, and contains a selection of nice images from Portola Valley's Black Oak Trail in springtime. The second contains more photos documenting flowers, birds, plants, and a spider on nearby trails this season.
