Happy Flower, Happy Bee
Look at the pollen sacs on my little honey bee (Apis)!
3 bee-types like this sunflower (Helianthus)!
Thistles (Cirsium) – yumm.
Purple Cone Flower (Echinacea purpurea) – yumm!
Summer Squash – huge hit with the pollinators!
Busy as a Bee!

Beeland is now properly occupied by actual bees (Occupy Hive).
Approaching the hive.
Puck’s tail says “DANGER WILL ROBINSON!”

The upcoming bees will need full sun and a flat platform for their hive. So today we repurposed some ancient iron railings (removed in 2003 from the front porch) and a stage platform built for Powhatan. Throw in some cinder blocks, a few fence posts, and some barbed wire, and you have a hopefully horse-proof site.
The truck was helpful in moving stuff around (as always).
Future site of beeland. If you look carefully you can see the apothecary shed in the background. All hail the apothecary shed.
