The village has its own population of bees, they help make the most wonderful honey. It’s amazing how those little chaps can get the honey into those jars…..
Every year apparently the Village Bee community splits into two groups. Well this year, one group has gone wondering. Having a temporary residence right next to the lane we walk the mad dog every day. The couple who are the official beekeepers, have provided a temporary home for them. Fenced it off, the Bees are very docile, but don’t want dogs sticking their curious noses too close.
It’s not a great photo, but there are lots of them to make honey….
Soon the Beekeepers are going to try to encourage this lot to move to a new palatial home, in the old graveyard.

I think they were most worried about nosy pups getting stung.

Is the dog mad that lives so wonderfully in the moment or are we the humans that keep thinking so much of then and there and was and could possibly be? Love that you have the dog to keep you on track.

we can definitely learn from some dogs in that one.

We once had bees nesting on our terrace. The Queen Bee supposedly escaping when the hive was moved. Fortunately, a friend’s son was a beekeeper and he rehomed them for us. https://viewfromtheback.com/2011/05/22/honey-packed-week-end/

we have a few bees living in the roof, going to let them stay and then close the hole up in the autumn

we walked through one of the Bee storms. Initially scary but you quickly realise the Bees are not interested in you, in fact they avoid flying into you. Well these Bees seem pretty gentle.

I LOVE bees and think we should all be doing more to take care of them … without them, we’d be in a world of hurt! Thanks for sharing this one, Gary! And good to see you, my friend!

last few years, there was a real lack of Bees. This year the numbers seem to be up.
