When ...Your story reminded me of childhood memory. When I was growing up, my father was a beekeeper. We called one of his hives "The Terrorists". I swear there were sniper bees circling above the hollow where the hives were located, just waiting for an unsuspecting human to move into range. It was well worth the effort to enjoy the fruits of the bee labor, though. Did you know that if stored properly, honey doesn't spoil? I'm still working my way through a 2 gallon jar of my dad's last harvest several years ago. I hope you feel tremendous satisfaction and pride about your bounty, Melissa.Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045181019058338597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19093186.post-52643685351133787442010-09-08T10:06:33.040-04:002010-09-08T10:06:33.040-04:00How cool!
