Requesting permission to land?

The bees have been loving the warm afternoon, and many have been taking the time to get themselves a drink in the pond.  This spot seems very busy.  I am hoping that I have the chance to get into the hives, although if the weather does become cool by Thursday, i may miss my chance and have to wait a little longer.  The hives look busy and i think they all had bees going for orientation flights which implies that there are laying queens.....i hope anyway.

Its so nice to have lighter evenings and warmer weather.  A little glimpse into what the summer could be like.
