Yesterday I talked about honey in the high places. Now I want to talk about it for the rest of us. As a kid my dad had a bee hive. I learned to love honey comb. At the local farmer's market they have it but... They had just a tiny piece in the jar. I almost laughed. We filled the jars with the comb. I do miss them.
Our blueberries have had humming birds and bumble bees but no honey bees yet. My cousin in Illinois posted on his Facebook establishing a hive for his fruit trees. I keep longing for a bee hive. I know at this point it is slim that it will happen. My hubby is not interested and it is not something I am ready to take on. Maybe a honey bee swarm will fly by. smile
Here is a couple of good links on honey bees.
