  • I will have to look into mason bees. I have heard of them but never read up on them.

    I was gifted a flow hive and neglected to source a brood of honey bees over the winter, so it’s empty at the moment. If I’m lucky I might “catch” a new queen and her entourage later in the season when they are splitting off from established hives and looking for a new home.





  • I have noticed a distinct lack of bees in my garden. My lilac bush and fruit trees are usually humming in springtime. The local beekeepers tell me that the unusual winter we had was hard on the hives, and a lot of bees died. I hope they rebound!

    Unique experience: This isn’t totally unique, but a local ice cream shop sells affogato (ice cream with a shot of espresso poured over the top). I need to get one soon and eat it outside in the sunshine!
