Bees, Bees and Bees

I have always loved bees.  I am not sure why this is but it must stem from early childhood.  My paternal side were city slickers – more or less.  My maternal side were small town & farm people.  Perhaps I heard one really inertial story – my grandpa used to tell stories for hours – or perhaps it was a long forgotten story or visual cue that has inspired me.  Anyway, while I was still on the farm I read several books on the subject of Bee Keeping, one was by A.I.Root, and really wanted to do this but never had the time, considering I travelled, had the live stock and “generated” the feed for such beasts too.  I m sure my children could add their side to this story too.  Perhaps we should do this – a collections of rememberances…

Here is a link that conveys the less glamours side of bee keeping.
