My good friend (Sarah Bee) made this lovely cake for my very big birthday.
Us Queen bees can live for 5 years! Each is equiv. to 20 human years so figure
it out. That's me on top but I can't bear to eat it. Still I need to lose weight. What shall I do?
Today is perfect for spinning honey off the combs. It's pouring down so I can't
get out to collect nectar.
The News says there will be a shortage of honey for people to buy as the poor
weather has forced some bee-keepers to feed sugar syrup to their colonies.
In our local village store today a customer said that she relies on my honey
to give her immunity to hay-fever. She thinks she'll start 'stockpiling'.
"Bees are the batteries of orchards, gardens, guard them" - (Virgil's Bees from Carol Ann Duffy's The Bees)
