Two girls watch in amazement as bees work at cleaning, nursing babies, guarding the hive, and repairing wax in this portion of a hive on display at Plagman Barn. Only a third of the bees in any hive are promoted to foraging for pollen; the rest keep busy inside the hive. (Press photo by Molly Moser)
