Good word!

“An word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver”

...as long as you brought it up...

Since setting out the honey/water, I’m getting five to six visits in the morning. I noticed they hovered over the plate, but didn’t land so I dropped a hibiscus bloom in the plate and thye figured it out. The three orange Jasmine trees (each 15’ tall with 20’ radius) are starting their monthly bloom explosion. When this happens the entire yard hums with what must be thousands of these inedible creatures.

Been reading up on beekeeping for idiots. Might just begin this in the spring =o)

Fresh honey is like food from heaven.

Have a great year!

There is a weird Romanian bee keeper at my market who charges a king’s ransom for honey. ($25 for 8 oz, last time I priced it. And it’s local, not Manukan.) I was talking to him one day and a bee landed on his finger and he was “petting” it.
