Remember
this post from last September? Well, my
honey is now in the business of
honey; better known as
beekeeping. Anyone who knows my adorable
science savvy hubby knows that when he finds something he's interested in, he takes it on
wholeheartedly and he does an
amazing job with it! Springtime is the time to prepare your
beehive and this year Dar is living his
dream (that really only began last fall).
Two weeks ago Dar bought his beehives and his new
hobby has just taken off since then. It's actually been pretty neat for both of us to learn about these
incredible creatures and how
important they are in our lives. I guess I've never really thought about it before now, but
honeybees are pretty n
eat! (And unfortunately their numbers have really been declining over the last few years. Not good if you like to eat food!) It'll be fun for both of us to experience the process of beekeeping and we'll keep you posted on this new adventure.The bee boxes before getting a nice coat of paint to keep them from weathering
Dar's bees hard at workHe could just sit in front of the hive and watch the bees work for hours. If only he had the time. *sigh* Pretty cool!
And here's some really awesome shots he got yesterday of one of his little worker bees hard at work harvesting nectar.
And of course, his two leading ladies sporting twinner flowers he gave us :)
