Field Trip to the Bee Yard

5/22/2013

Today I got to check out my bees and show them to my niece and nephews. My niece was a little scared ad first, but she was courageous and brave and got real close to see the bees working in the hive. She felt safe, wearing the veil. We saw brood in the larva and pupa stages, some pollen, and lots of honey. We even got to taste a little honey. Here is a letter my nephew wrote me after seeing all the bees. He wanted me to fill in the blanks like a worksheet.

I love the veil as well as the wonderful communication options explored yesterday. I'll keep reading with earnest!

The wonderful thing about keeping bees is that people get so excited! We need more beekeeper, and sharing these experiences are the best way to encourage the next generation. You are already mentoring the others, educating them, and preparing them for their own hives!

Thanks for all your support as my mentor. I have learned a lot from your advice to me and the other new beekeepers in the mentoring class.

Thanks for the encouraging words Deni. I was surprised by Elijah's letter too! I love his enthusiasm for the bees. Weeks later he was ready to visit them again to get some more honey.

    Staring at the dancing bees in an observation hive, it hits me. I love how these tiny creatures communicate. It looks like they're having fun dancing around while telling their sisters where to find some nectar.

    I created this site to share what I know about these amazing creatures such a tiny creature has such a complex way to carrying out its purpose. And it all looks so simple. It reminds me that God takes care of the smallest details as his creation dances.

    So here goes. Join me on an adventure with bees. I hope we can make learning as fun as the dancing bees informing their sisters of sweet nectar.
