Mrs. Jinksto and I got our first hive of bees on Monday.  We’ve been having a blast watching them.  I’ll probably write another post about the bees but for now I wanted to share a few pics.

Bees filling up on water in our little “water feature” fountain.

And yeah… photo credit to Mrs. Jinksto for all… these were taken in our yard by my awesome wife.  Pretty cool.

    Great photos! I never knew there was a clearwing hummingbird moth but it’s pretty cool looking!

      I had never heard of them either until we moved here but we have them every year. Really cool little bugs.
