Bees and Gardens

Today is one of the nicest Spring Days that ever did happen, the sun is shinning , the Birds are chirping ( and we even have the Hot Birdchick out today so we even know WHICH birds are chirping ). Just got back from checking on the Bees. There is something truly spiritual and quite magic , about tending Bees, I think. I'm not sure how to put it, but I feel so connected to every bit of the earth, and to everything , every time we work with them.




The girls are doing pretty well, I am sure Sharon will do a complete post on exactly WHAT they are doing over at Birdchick.com. I know we found drone cells today and that the drones are the boy bees and they do NOTHING except eat and find a Queen to mate with.

( nope, hee-hee, I am not EVEN going to go there....Too easy! )



We went down into the hives, and looked for ( and found ) Funky Comb. By the time we were getting done we were getting Bonked pretty frequently. Being " Bonked" is Bee Talk for " Get the heck away from my honey!!!!!!!! " And it's what they do before they sting. It's kind of freaky and louder than you would think. ( so so wish Malena was here for this! She would LOVE BEEing! I can just see her, the little goofball, talking to them, and singing to them and wanting to take them home and keep them for pets! )



The garden is finally done. ( well, as " Done " as a garden ever gets, it is IN at any rate ) Here's Terry, the Wonder Gardener, and I doing American GOTHic. ( I slay myself! )

The various Things that have been grilling outdoors seem to be done now. So I am going to sit under a tree and contemplate Bees and Gardens. I hope whatever you are doing this Holiday weekend is as nice as mine is turning out to be.

Love and Bee Magic,
