A big part of having bees is observe them at work. To watch them raise their young, collect nectar and build their hives. On the one hand, the honey bees are tucked away in their hives, hidden from view unless you open up the hive and take a peak. But if your interested here are some of the things you can see at the hive entrance.
April until mid-May, there is little activity even in strong colonies except
perhaps during the early part of the afternoon on days favorable to harvest. You should see large bodied Drones, at the hive entrance along Worker
bees laden with pollen.
Beekeepers can become better at 'knowing what is going on with their bees' with less interference. "The master accomplishes more and more by doing less and less until finally he accomplishes everything by doing nothing." --Laozi, Tao Te Ching
