Lavender Honey in the Making!

  We are super excited to have several beautiful new bee houses on the farm!  And these are not just your ordinary old bee boxes...  These are dolled up with copper roofs! Thanks to Gary Erwin who built them for us!

  Now we are waiting for our first round of honey from the lavender fields!  Can't wait!!  And we've thoroughly enjoyed watching these amazing neighbors hard at work!  One day after a very long day of work, I went out into the middle of one of the rows of lavender.  I found a nice spot, threw down a small blanket and stretched out on the ground.  As I was lying there staring up at the clouds... I was mesmerized by the zillions of bees buzzing overhead from one lavender plant to the next.  They had absolutely no concern about my being there with them and welcomed me into their little world.  It was the perfect way to end a day.
