Thanks, RD!
Last year during a yard sale my wife had we met a guy who traded some of his pure, country, local honey for a couple of things my wife was selling.
He saw my garden area and commented on it ... I told him that I was not seeing any honey bees just the big ol' Bumble Bees ... he said if I see any honey bees around here they are probably his (he lives about 20 or so miles away). That is when we started trading his honey for what he wanted of ours. Wonderful stuff!
I am missing the big ol' Bumble Bees this year. I hope they return!
