It's a vibrant time of the year when all the palms are flowering. We hear the constant humming of the honey bees as they sip nectar from the flowers throughout the day.
It seems that beekeepers all over have been struggling to keep their bees alive and healthy. We've lost 5 hives out of 13 because of the bee mite and some just finding a more desirable location.
Honey is a wonderful health food given to us from the bees and should be appreciated. Worker bees fly about 120,000 km (3 times around the earth) in order to produce 500 grams of honey.
Mother Earth's marvelous creatures delight my children with their loveliness...
My children take pleasure in returning some of the fragrant, liquid gold honey to the bees so they can observe them at work!
They drop some honey on their moose so he can enjoy the bees.
My children handle the bees calmly and with respect.
Thanks for sharing so much beauty. An inspiration as always!

The plight of bees worldwide is worrying. They are truly amazing creatures. Such a pity you have lost hives. It is so beautiful to see your boys love and respect for the bees and that they even let dear moose in on the bee love!
