Living in the midst of apple orchards has afforded some interesting experiences. We have learned to steer clear of the stacks of bee boxes that show up in the early weeks of May. The bees are busy and they don't appreciate anyone who gets in their way; man or beast. Jasmine learned the hard way. I am extra careful when I photograph them in my lilac bushes. (I think that's a honey bee making a collection... )
One day on a trip about town, I found myself behind this lovely vehicle. Likely a local bee keeper on his way to deliver a load of honey bees to a nearby orchard. It reminded me of a movie I once saw and I was grateful that these bee
are the tamer variety. Even so I kept my distance.I am quite happy to buy my honey from the nearest farm market or grocery store. I love it drizzled over hot biscuits and stirred into a steaming cup of hot tea. Honey, I love you!

I just have to say that I enjoy that ABCs Wednedays are about food :).

You are lucky to be near a place where you can buy your honey fresh. I like it drizzled over toasted crumpets! :D

With a farm nearby, you can get your honey fresh! I don't take honey but another product of the hardworking bees- the Royal Jelly.
ReplyDeleteNice! And you are lucky to be able to get fresh honey. (As for ABC Wednesday, we had the same idea!)

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of sticky stuff...I've been noticing some folks around here tapping trees for another favorite sweet and sticky substance.
My mouth is watering! I love your bee on lilac photo and the back of bee-hauling truck.

P.S. I too am lucky and live in the orchard country of SW Michigan and the maples are giving up their about-to-be syrup.
ReplyDeleteApples and honey--who doesn't love 'em. Your blog blessed my visit today.
