both of my grandfathers were beekeepers!
As a child I did not realize how important bees are!

how terribly sweet, no pun intended, I hate answering the door but for 2 charmers like that I’d camp out waiting for them!

perhaps the honey wants to live in that lovely ceramic container you displayed a couple of posts back.

Not only would the honey be happy (ouch) but no one would notice the steadily dropping level.

That is such an awesome surprise. Such a great story for the boys as well.

That’s a honey of a story! And I love LauraN’s couplet about the bees.

Other humor:

MURPHY’S LESSER KNOWN DICTUMS

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% probability you’ll get it wrong.

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a hill, in the fog.

The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who got there first.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

You don’t have to be a former hippie to keep bees. My father-in-law has been a bee keeper for six or seven decades, and he thinks “woodstock” is the pile out in the shed to last you the winter. Ross always reminds us that:

A bee’s front end is good and kind
But never trust a bee’s behind.
A bee can sting if it can sit,
So always stay in front of it.

Local honey is the absolute best, I don’t care where those bees have been collecting their pollen. I hope you enjoy and think you should dip that spoon in once for me ;->
