Photos of the Day for April 28, 2012: Traditional Beekeeping II / Палескае бортніцтва ІІ

Traditional Beekeeping (part II).  Традыцыйнае палескае бортніцтва (частка ІІ).

It is rare to put more than one kaloda (a hollowed-out section of tree trunk used as a bee hive) in the same tree.  In the first photo one hive had survived the winter in a weakened state; the other hive had not survived.
