    Cool Interesting looking red-head...

    Saw this in a colony in which I just replaced the drone-laying queen...


    Sorry for the link-only post - I don't have permissions to upload the photo.

    I have to say I never saw any like that. Did the drone stick his head in some paint laying around?

    According to this article http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?scri...62003000200011 I guess your drone has the mutant brick eye color.

    Fascinating, I have never seen a honeybee with eyes like that! wow, something to keep an eye out for. I imagine it would be easy to spot! Thanks for sharing.
