The water is going down and it's not leaking now since I sealed the print but this is the most bees I've seen drinking water.
This is a bit ridiculous since the hives are 75 feet away from *illions of gallons of water but there's always one or two bees at the dog water, or the geese water, or on dripping faucets. It can't hurt and maybe I'll put a bit of salt and minerals in it for them.

The strongest hive early this afternoon today. The drones are cleaning themselves for any potential encounters as the workers bring food in. I made some little U-shaped water troughs. I've been filling up small jar lids sometimes with water and they seem to drink it so I made something so the water would last longer.
It holds about 60ml or 4 Tbsp.

The bees late this afternoon on a mostly overcast day with a few drops of rain. Lots of big drones in the two most active hives and a steady amount of pollen coming in.

The harvest for today, August 16, 2024.
Cucumbers, melons, zucchini, bell peppers and Sweet Marconi peppers, some beans, and lots of tomatoes.
7.7 lbs / 3.5 kg of Principe Borghese were picked, these are the small oval paste or for sun drying tomatoes.

Time to jam. Ingredients were gathered from the freezer last night and the back yard this morning. Almost 8 quarts of frozen raspberries, 4 quarts of of blackcaps discovered while getting the raspberries..., and maybe a quart of fresh blackberries. The good news is the blackcaps I had forgot about are the soft juicy flavorful ones.
Part 1 of 2.

Some rudbeckia hirta starting to bloom in the new bed. There is also mealycup sage, purple coneflower, and surprise seeds mixed in with the mealycup sage is some Salvia hispanica which is called chia and it's a tall salvia. It's all 1 foot spaced and will get various bulbs put in for some early spring flowers before perennials start to grow.

Mostly rudbeckia hirta with the anise hyssop, purple coneflower, and bergamot bee balm around it. The rudbeckia was planted in exactly one fifth of the circular bed.

I think this is Bombus appositus the white-shouldered bumblebee.

I saw a bee on the hyssop, the rudbeckia is almost open, the purple coneflower stems are longer and the heads spikier, also a too many weird spots ladybug on the hyssop.

Pollinator bed has a little bit of hyssop that's blooming and the rudbeckiais close and the purple coneflower stems are getting longer with a flower like thing on the end. Monarda fistulosa Bergamot bee balm is 5 feet tall and still growing.
The edible border is probably all growing. Viola, Pansies, Borage, Calendula, and Nasturtium which is pictured.

Closeups of the rudbeckia hirta, echinacea purpurea, and salvia.
The seeds were planted on May 27 indoors under LED grow light with about 80F/27C temperature when the lights were on.
