Bee Day!

Unfortunately we were too excited to remember to take pictures of our two hives as we set them out on Mother's Day! What a wonderful day it was!

And so appropriate - as the Queen bee is the mother of thousands!

One hive is named Ambrose and the other is Modomnoc - two Patron Saints of bees, beekeeping and beekeepers.

I should add that we aren't permitted to keep bees on our own land (even on the roof or such) - as it is less than an acre and a half - but we approached others who did have the permitted land and found suitable paces to keep our hives.

Here are 2 shots I actually did get; both at the Modomnoc hive.
