surprise


Are there beekeeper fairies? Or elves? We came back from vacation today, and I found 3 beekeeping catalogues in a bag on my front door! They look interesting, I’m looking forward to giving them a proper look once the camping clutter has disappeared from my dining room. And by ‘disappeared’ I’m referring to the process whereby I am the one who cleans said clutter. Hopefully it won’t take too long.

We should have camped out for a few more days, I think. I find it takes about a day on either end of camping to transition in and out, so the longer we go the more worthwhile it feels. Although, I’m glad to be done with the Pinery. There is Poison Ivy everywhere you look. I was getting tired of hearing myself tell the kids not to play in the bush for fear of coming into contact with it. Next year: somewhere else. Suggestions welcome! Beaches and bike trails are mandatory.

I should also mention – I didn’t see a single honeybee. A few bumblebees, though. Can’t wait to see my bees tomorrow!

    Honey bee fairies. Didn't know they existed. Never saw that in any of the books. Maybe they only come to new beekeepers.

    It's a mystery, then – I wonder if we should ask some of the other beekeepers if they've ever experienced this?

    Thanks for the park recommendation, I'll look up Grundy.
