The bees don’t know it’s September

Although the summer is officially over, the bees are very active, possibly more active around the entrance than I have ever seen them. This is good, as the last few days have had bad flying weather, and their foraging has fallen off because of it.  I’ve decided to inspect them as little as possible from now on, as every inspection is disruption to their work, and I want these last few months to be as productive as possible, especially since October is the last bloom of anything around here.
