I'll put my thinking cap on and try to think of a way to come up with something.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063046271695834588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-46066593056530491182012-03-28T17:38:53.467-07:002012-03-28T17:38:53.467-07:00Hello beautiful Nadya!

If you and Guppy were closer I'd invite you to help paint the hives. A couple of friends of mine are bringing their kids to do the creative work. So exciting!

Some of it known, others new, but all soaked up and kept for those weird social gatherings when weird facts are randomly shared. Or maybe for when Guppy requires an answer to a bee-question.<br /><br />How I would love to have an apiary! Or just a single beehive would do. You are very blessed and I am happy for your good fortune. Even if I had the space, Sparky is allergic to those marvelous wonders. Sigh. The possibility is that Guppy is allergic as well so, the chances are slim to none of having a little colony of my own.<br /><br />But enjoy your new avenue!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219809629133192334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-85752083617945842652012-03-26T18:54:31.306-07:002012-03-26T18:54:31.306-07:00Just the title of this piece would make my very to...Just the title of this piece would make my very tough son wince. While hanging gutters on a house some years back, he got stung by hundreds of bees, fell two stories, and showed up at the ER in such wicked shape that the normally hard-to-scare ER docs and nurses blanched--and ran like hell to get his treatment started. He's fine, just has a thing about bees now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-82505951862033540672012-03-26T07:46:36.334-07:002012-03-26T07:46:36.334-07:00Cool!!

My great-grandfather did too.... at class Saturday the instructor had some raw honey for us to inspect, and the fragrance almost knocked me out. It brought back SO MANY intense happy childhood memories for me! Much, much different from what we buy in stores. <br /><br />p.s., may you always more to eat than just green beans and honey!!

Heather, I wonder if you and I could work out a little Canada/Oklahoma product exchange sometime... give it some thought! xoxoMarie at the Lazy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499662322233018616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-39661049780547739032012-03-26T07:41:10.562-07:002012-03-26T07:41:10.562-07:00Hello again!!

LOL Yep, we talked about the allergy thing in class, and I've heard that from people before...isn't that cool?! My husband suffers from allergies terribly and loves raw honey, so I am hoping this will be a good thing for him. I never really had allergies, and sometimes wonder if it's because my Mom fed us so much raw food growing up, etc. Hmmm...Marie at the Lazy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499662322233018616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-75730525873224808192012-03-26T05:47:01.190-07:002012-03-26T05:47:01.190-07:00My Grandfather raised bees while I was growing up....My Grandfather raised bees while I was growing up. I can still remember him donning the full body "bee" suit with the hooded mask and smoking the bees out to get to the honey. All of us kids would be wiggly in anticipation of the first bit of honeycomb. He canned his honey and we still, 10+ years later, have cans upon cans of it in our storage pantry. Between the honey and green beans we shall never go hungry (just bored with our choices!)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762583175264212276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-54922622618132190882012-03-26T05:13:11.517-07:002012-03-26T05:13:11.517-07:00Neat information, Marie.

I have some local syrup and it is much lighter than the norther syrup I'm used to (southern and northern Ontario).heather @ new house, new home, new lifehttp://www.newhousenewhomenewlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-73579157650345985372012-03-25T19:54:21.364-07:002012-03-25T19:54:21.364-07:00Yay for so much wonderful information.

I may even take a couple of notes, if that's kosher?<br /><br />Another fact, that goes along with honey tasting like specific areas. Did you also know that if you eat local honey, you'll be less likely to have allergies in that area, for much the same reason as that it tastes specific to the area. Did I just make any sense?<br /><br />Anyway. I'm happy you're taking more classes. The way you describe your joy makes me happy too, for you, for other beekeepers. So fabulous.Deb Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419809243480266275noreply@blogger.com
