Watching a busy hive yesterday afternoon it was easy to see bees returning
to the hive with pollen.  But I couldn't make out for certain any visual
indications that the other returning bees were carrying nectar.  The
activity was fast paced, and I don't imagine the bees were just out for joy
flights on what was a beautiful summer day.  What does a nectar loaded bee
look like?
