It all started in 2009 when we noticed a feral honey bee colony living in the huge old sweet gum tree on the edge of our yard. We spent hours watching the coming and goings on of these honey bees. You could just stick your hand and camera in the big hole in the base of the tree and take pictures. We were delighted, excited, fascinated and had a great garden that year.
A year later they were gone...
That got us thinking...
Maybe we should just get some more bees.
(see the honey comb inside the tree, just out of reach)
Don't forget to tell the story about your heroic, yet innocent victim neighbor who took one for the team when the kamikaze bee got between his glasses and his eye!! :eek:
