Honey Bees Arrive in TomatoTown
Beekeeper Mark checks on the honeycomb forming on a hive frame.
Beekeeper Mark, is as busy as the bees he keeps on the edge of TomatoTown. Kindly he offered to place a hive in a quiet corner of our yard earlier this spring. We’ve been thrilled to have these new resident bees buzzing around, pollinating our plants and fruit trees. Of course we’ve never lacked in bees and butterflies in our overgrown, jungle of a garden, but now we have an official hive with official honey bees and soon, official honey.
“Well,” said Pooh, “what I like best,” and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
