Bees
We
love to watch the bees buzzing around our plants. The mint -
which I didn't plant and wish previous owners hadn't, as it just takes
over - reallly attracts them. So does the lavender. My kids
have learned not to be afraid of bees.
Every year when we go to the Oregon Agriculture Festival (Agfest) we spend a lot of time at the beekeeping booth
So
it was pretty exciting when a few months ago I was wandering around in
Borders and I saw two new books on bees and beekeeping. Having
been stung before (hahaha) by uninteresting books, I went to the
library and got them. Started reading, books came due, we went on
vacation... I didn't finish the books, but I still keep thinking
about bees. For some reason on this gray morning, thinking about
harvesting honey is cheering me up. We have the room for a hive,
or two...
It'd
probably take a couple years to study up and make the decision to get
some bees. We don't do things quickly around here.
But maybe if we got some bees I could put the kids off on the dog a little longer...
