The Bee That Everyone Wants to Save

My neighbour has 50 hives, the road has 30 more. That's 4 million honeybees, and not one of them is the bee that actually needs saving.

The 'White hive' and the 'Center hive' with the 'Green hive' in the background. You can see there's almost no dead bees on the ground below the center hive and a very thick layer of dead bees from the green hive.

It warmed up and the sun was out a little today so the bees were flying from all five hives. The center hive hasn't shown much signs of life except for condensation running out of it on the damp days, almost no dead bees from it. It's the hive that doesn't reduce it's numbers for the winter and eats through two deep boxes of honey.
