My Bee Day!

 Fame is a bee
 It has a song
 It has a sting
Ah, too, it has a wing
-Emily Dickinson

Well now I really am the girl who has everything!
Arron bought me 10,000 Italian Bees and 1Queen for my Birthday. Just that he knows what I like is a great gift in and of itself! What a guy, and to top it off he made dinner reservations!


The girls will be shipped in the mail to Pura Vida this spring. I can't wait to get them into their new home! I will be ordering their hive very soon so it will be ready.


“The bee, from her industry in the summer, eats honey all the winter” -Old Proverb

Mom did this Crewel embroidery for me, I just had to show a close-up of the bees. Do you think she knew then that I would love a bug? Either way, she did a beautiful job, and  I treasure it!

I have a lot to learn about this new adventure of mine. I think the love of learning is really why people are so fascinated with beekeeping as a hobby. I envision long summer days, sitting under our gazebo, drinking lemonade and listening to the bees pollinating my lavender. What could bee better?

This could be Arron and I in the near future.

Yes, but do you have a Bilibo?

What an awesome birthday present! I think you need to spend some time asking Dave West a lot of questions about bees.
