To-day is "World Honey Bee " day-- I notice many Bees as I garden-- They never seem to bother me--but--yesterday as I was hanging up a filled Hummingbird Feeder--I was stung by a hornet--never a Honey Bee---
Anyway, to-day, August 20th, 2022, is the day we need to learn more about Honey Bees--When we are planning our gardens , perhaps in the Spring, think about collecting and spreading, local wildflower seeds, from, clover, alfalfa, lavender, orange and chestnut--These will attract Honey Bees, and promote honey Bee Pollination. I did not know that one Bee colony can have a population of 20,000 to 60,000 bees. One hive can produce 200 pounds of honey in one year.
Yesterday Himself had a nearly normal day-It was wonderful--AND, we did get out to Granddaughter's Birthday Party at Son#3's house--AND--HIMSELF WORE HIS HEARING AIDS__ SO GOOD!
Here she is--after a swim in their pool- and--here she was about 15 years ago--the wee girl with the bottle in her mouth-- which seems like only yesterday-
Enjoy the day-- It's a hot one!--- Soon we will be into Fall--Lord love a Duck!
Enjoy your day! I love my honey bees. We must have a hive near as my yard is full of happy bees!
ReplyDeleteToday we go to the fair to watch our grandsons show sheep. It will be a fun and interesting day. Try saying “showing at the sheep show” several times!🤣😂🤣
Glad that you had a fun evening!

Yu must enjoy watching those Grandsons showing sheep-- I shall think of yu for sure-Hugs, Lynda
DeleteOh yes, the bees help keep the vegetation growing. So glad you went to your granddaughter’s birthday gathering! And Himself wore his ears! Marvelous!
ReplyDeleteIt amazed me too-- even charged them up-- lynda
DeleteLynda, you have such a close knit family and that is the most wonderful thing in the world to have!! You also have many great photos taken over the years, treasured memories of days gone by.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that Fred was okay to go to the birthday party and to even wear his ears! Imagine that!
As for the bees, if I had my own house still, I'd plant those seeds you mentioned and encourage bees to do their own thing. Great idea!
Love and many hugs coming to you, Fred and your fur babies xoxo
Gloria -Are yu settled in, in the new place?-- And is it easier now to access?-- Every time Lopez is bad (and he is that way almost ALL the time!--- )--but--I think of yu and how much yu loved these wee dogs- Lynda

Enjoy your day. Be well and safe.

My oldest and ONLY granddaughter will be turning 17 soon - yes, it seems like only yesterday that I flew down there to help out for the first couple weeks of her life. Time moves along so quickly!
ReplyDeleteTime does move quickly-- Lynda

ReplyDeleteI prefer the heat too-Good to see yu Lynda
DeleteSorry about the sting...bet that hurt. Glad Himself had a better day and y'all got to go to the party.
ReplyDeleteWe have two Hummingbird feeders one in the back of the house near the kitchen window where it is shady and one in the front of the house where we face the sun. We never have a problem with honey Bees at the feeder but this time of year we always have a wasp problem with the one out in front. The stop the hummingbirds from feeding.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful day to celebrate BEES. What adorable photos. ((HUGS and SMILES))
