But I know their importance as pollinators of our food. An article last spring or summer in our local paper was saying that there are fewer and fewer around here and many hives are dying. They were asking that if anyone found hives in or around their homes not to exterminate them but call a bee keeper to come and save them.<br /><br />I've known a couple of amateur bee keepers. My great grandfather kept bees in Hungary and would take them to farms and forest for many miles around to get various kinds of honey.Tom in Ontariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12154434042794825551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-24063222270843561462010-01-11T19:16:38.253-08:002010-01-11T19:16:38.253-08:00Hi LC,

Just found your blog yesterday listed at http://ecumenicalwomen.org/about/.<br /><br />Bees have been a growing interest for me this past year as well. I'm looking forward to attending the first meeting of our local Beekeepers Association this month and hope to start a hive in 2011. :) Thought you might be interested in this site, http://www.biobees.com/ <br /><br />Enjoy your journey with the bees! <br /><br />lisalisahttp://lesrevesdesabeilles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-50964350745247375702010-01-11T12:47:15.072-08:002010-01-11T12:47:15.072-08:00Why did I click that link?

Four sentences in and my brain broke (jeezy creezy, are people seriously making medical decisions based on CHARTS THEY FOUND ON THE INTERNET?!?! Ow, ow, my brain, OW!) Quick skim of the rest of it and WHAT THE EVER LOVING HECK?! <br /><br />Bees. I like bees. They're pretty. I've only been stung by one once, and that wasn't its fault, I had to walk through an area near a hive and the poor thing got caught in my hair. The author Neil Gaiman keeps bees in his backyard, he writes about them on his blog a lot. A friend has become interested in bee skept making, and skepts are different from the modern hives because you really can't get the honey out without destroying the poor bees. He makes them for decorations, though, in homes. <a href="http://www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/wabees.asp" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is how to attract bees through garden plants and such.Mary Suehttp://orderofsantaignora.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
