RE: Zen Colouring Contest #32
There are no shortage of bees around me at the moment - the farmer next door brought in a long row of bee boxes earlier this week to pollinate his olive trees, he also brings them in around February time to pollinate the almond trees. My garden is full of happy bees now which is great to see.
That is sad you had hives die but you obviously did everything you could to keep them happy and thriving. These cold winters can really creep up!
I might look into bee keeping though it does look a bit daunting! I would definitely have to do plenty of research before diving in. That's crazy that ancient Egyptian honey was found, I bet that was delicious! Untainted by the pollutants of the modern world.
I hope you are having a lovely day :)
That's wonderful that a farmer brought in bees to pollinate his almond trees. We have a friend that has many hives that he will transport out on a truck to farmers who want their trees pollinated. You can make good money doing that. If you have any small children, and you have a baby pool, be careful, because bees will only drink fresh water, and they will hang around baby pools, dog or cat water bowls, and bird baths. They can be especially thick around the area if the hives are close by. Blessings friend❣️
Yes indeed, the bees can be thick around my garden as their hives are pretty closeby, luckily I have an enclosed pool for such reason and the animals' water bowls live indoors for the time being! When our pool was open air the poor bees would get in and drown :(
