Buzzin Bee Parade- Bee Freebies of the Past

Good morning, my beautiful friends!!!! Let's start the day with a bee poem shall we.  

Bees, bees, bees, bees

Buzzin in bushes, buzzin  in trees

Buzzin around whereever they please

There is nothing so sweet as a honey bee. 

I so agree! I do love my bees!  Not many people know this but I am allergic to them, but that does not stop me from enjoying their beauty and all that they do. 

 TAAAADAAA DAAA! 🎺🐝  HIVE UPDATE

Well the bees are staying busy. They are taking care of the flowers and tending to their hives. On warm days , you might see a number of them on the outside of the boxes. 

Now, grab you a cup of tea or whatever strikes your fancy and join me as I share a bee parade of past bee stitches. I am sure more will come in the future for one can not just have one or even two bee stitches. Don't tell Mr. Pinker but  I need a swarm of bee stitches !!!! Ssssh he thinks I am  on the verge of going "bee crazy".

  7. Another sweet post! You'll be happy to know about two weeks ago we had a good sized honey bee swarm stop off in our tree in our front yard. While I enjoyed their visit I admit I was relieved when after about an hour they moved on towards the woods behind us. So neat to see!

    1. Oooh I bet that was a wonderful sight to see, Maureen. It is nice to hear that you have bees nearby tending to the flowers and that they have found a home in the woods where all is safe. We was hoping to catch one more swarm , but haven't - maybe next years. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
