A look inside the hive - our hive has a window that’s normally covered. It’s super useful for quick checks without disturbing the bees. These combs visible here are still empty, but brood and honey production is in full swing in the older combs.
A drone, a male bee. The worker bee flew right into him and fell over...
Drones are part of a hive from spring to midsummer. They fly out regularly to look for queens to mate with. After mating season is over, they are no longer fed (they cannot feed themselves) and not let into the hive after flying around outside. At some point, the workers kill or throw out any drones left in the hive. This is called Drohnenschlacht in German, drone battle.
Guess who just bought a bee swarm.
