Bees Return

It's so exciting because I have just taken delivery of some new bees. I used to have several hives and one by one they all deserted me. The last lot even left me brand new honey as they left as if they were saying 'thanks for looking after us but we're off now'. It's lovely to have bees back. They make me feel very humble. They work so hard and human communities could do much better if we studied bees and saw how their communities work. They are fascinating to watch, all those comings and goings and how they cool the hive down if it gets too hot inside by fanning their wings, dance to communicate, specialize jobs etc, etc it's amazing. We all know bees deserve our respect and we rely on them for so much, including our own survival. I've been to tell them how great it is to have them here with me, to let them know they are welcome and wanted....I am told this is what you should do....I just hope they choose to stay this time!
