Belfry Bees & Honey

Yes, it is about our partners, the Honeybees. Currently they are literally hanging out in their hive awaiting the enevitable melt which will free them from their current confinement. This hive is one of approximately 18 hives located in at least three apiaries that I will be "keeping" during the 2009 season.

This location is in my garden in front of my house. While it will not be an active hive, old beekeeping equipment can add to the landscaping of any area reminding us that over 1/3 of the food we eat comes from honeybee pollenated trees, plants and other vegetation. 

While the winter provides a quiet time for beekeepers and the bees, it gives us some really cool pictures of the hives.

Ok, this is a mailbox, but still pretty cool - literally and figuatively.
