I think it would be very interesting to have some bees and harvest our own honey. I love your blog and I don't get to visit nearly as often as I would like. This is fascinating!

How wonderful, though, to be able to keep your own bees and enjoy the honey and all else that goes with this activity.

All your posts are, but this one was quite unique. I shared it with my 5 year old. He says he'd like something like that, too. This is really quite interesting.

I'd love a mouthful this autumn but I'm not pinning my hopes on it. ;) They are both such busy, thriving hives, however, they just might surprise us!! My great-grandmother kept bees...so maybe it's in my blood, as well!

I was just writing (fifteen minutes ago?) to a friend and telling her how much I like bees and honey - and the idea of having my own bees. (One of my uncle used to keep bees, so maybe it's in my blood!) Your bee hives make me think of apple trees and cherry trees in blossom and long grass and wild flowers. Mmm ... ! How long do you think it will be before you're eating your own honey on toast? Every mouthful, I'm sure, will be exquisite! You have bees!
