So much news today/! Grim news from the middle east where the horrific events
of the Hamas / Israeli war are dominating all media. This episode is just a small
sweet morsel of relief. Andrew gave me a big slice of honeycomb from one of his
bee hives as a Birthday gift. Today we ate it by the spoonfull.
Just a few questions for those who like research.
How much nectar can a honey bee carry from flower to hive?
What kind of nectar is best?…red clover or golden rod?
Why did one of Andrew”s hives become empty…no farewell note left behind,…
not a drop of honey left as payment for their landlord. Why? Where did
they go? Will they survive? Who made the decision to vacate?
Andrew put two hives on our farm…near the pond. Why is one hive filled with
tame bees and the other filled with angry bees? Do bees have personalities?
Finally: If I eat honeycomb will I begin to buzz?
If I eat honey from an angry bee hive, will my personality change?
Why does a bee hive only have one queen bee. Why are bees not
monogamous like human beings?
Why are bees essential for the survival of human beings?

P.S. I feel a buzz coming on.
