Bee Hive Sunrise |
On some mornings, I find the sky having a golden glow or golden bronze look. This awesome stack of cloud cover was taken with my Nikon D200 around 5:00 a.m., looking out at Palomar Mountain towards the east. Looks like it's going to be a lovely Spring day with temps in low 80s for sunny Cali.
How is it where you are? For more glorious views, I'm linking with Skywatch Friday.

| Protected Queen Bee |
Around this time of year, especially when the avocado grove is blossoming, we'll hear and look up and see bees swarming. One particular morning, I found this bee hive had landed nearby on my property with one goal in mind... and that was to protect the queen! They were working hard to lay eggs and make honey, too. The photo theme this week is 'texture' and I'm linking with Foto Friday.

Where would we be without them? Where would we be without one another?
In eighty-two poems and paragraphs, Naomi Shihab Nye alights on the essentials of our time—our loved ones, our dense air, our wars, our memories, our planet—and leaves us feeling curiously sweeter and profoundly soothed.

Eventually, the honeybees took off and this was left behind; a structure of hexagonal cells of wax, made by the bees.
Stop by these fine folks, if you have the time.

"Honeybees have been hauled all over agricultural creation by their owners in wooden hives to pollinate flowers far from the ones they grew up with."

DeleteIntriguing bee lessons! Thanks for sharing...and here's MY FRIDAY MEMES POST
ReplyDeleteI'll stop by, thanks!
DeleteLOVELY skies!
ReplyDeleteI used to be allergic to bees when I was a kid, now, no. I got stung last year and nothing bad happened. I love learning about them though and have always been under the impression honey bees don't really use their stinger on humans. Not sure how much truth is in that though.....
Stunning sunrise! We used to keep bees, but tried never to get too close to a swarm! Erika's SWF
