I’ve begun (yet another) new adventure lately. This venture
requires me to be a momma – to about 10,000 creatures. These creatures aren’t necessarily
warm and cuddly little things. They are capable of stinging, causing allergic
reactions, and swarming. I’m in the process of becoming a bee Momma.
My adventurous friend, Amanda, and I have jumped full-force
into the process of becoming beekeepers. We have a beautiful hive in Amanda’s
backyard, all of the necessary tools (& fun suits!), and a few pounds of
bees.
Amanda and I are both incredibly crunchy – we love the
outdoors, our environment, and supporting local efforts to preserve our
ecosystems. Bees just seem to fit into all of the above. We hope that our bees
help pollinate crops, flowers, and keep our local farmers in business – and we
hope to get some honey out of this deal, too.
Forgive me from not giving my undivided attention to Little Miss
Lovely over the past few weeks – but my beekeeping, gardening, and house work
have been taking up most of my attention (and those two other jobs that I work
have been, too). I’ve got some beautiful things in the works for Little Miss
Lovely and will share them with you shortly.
If you’d like to follow our beekeeping adventures or learn a
little more about why beekeepers do what they do, Amanda and I will be blogging
along the way. Once our blog, titled Spoonfuls of Honey, is up and running, I’ll
link you directly to it!
Happy weekend. Cheers!
