The waning moon rises in Aries, bringing warmth. Honey bees will be foraging to bring back pollen, which will be stored in their wax cells and then fed to the larvae as bee bread by the nurse bees. When observing honey bees returning to the hive entrance, you will notice the pollen on the back of their legs in their pollen baskets. The color of the pollen will indicate which flowers they are foraging from. Many newly born bees will be flying in lemniscates close to the entrance as they orientate themselves to the location of their hive in relation to the sun.
