You need WD40 on those gate hinges ...

A few years ago I witnessed a miracle of Nature that was both terrifying and beautifully awesome at the same time.

I was in my potting shed in the backyard when I started hearing this humming sound which brought me to the door and looking up at the sky where I saw this enormous dark cloud which at first I couldn't make sense of because it was un-pixelated in anyway.

The sky was actually a dark gray with these bees, and the humming grew to a crescendo that was like something out of a 'B'-Grade 1950's Horror movie. I made a dash for the backdoor from where I watched these flying stingers take up residence in the big Camphor tree against the fence in my backyard.

This last winter just gone is the first time they've stayed here without moving north to the warmer climate.

I just knew it.. Grin

bees swarming is not a worry.. most people crap themselves but in reality the bees feel vulnerable and are not looking for a fight as they have no protection..

put them in a box with their queen and watch them come out swinging if you disturb them... lol

I wasn't wearing a bee suit or netting or anything during the swarm... they're not a bother..

Here's a 'swarm' event that nearly cost this woman her life, but as she says, it was the intervention of the Almighty through people's prayers that saved her life.

The police, the paramedics, the nurses, the doctors, the multi-million dollar heart-lung machine, the drip-feed, the anti-venom, etc were all totally unnecessary in bringing her back from the edge of the grave.

many blessings

is honey vegan ?

the actual honey is from flowers is it not ?

im interested in your opinion mechanic

many thanks in advance

namaste

sure...honey comes from flowers etc

but you need to understand the meaning of "Vegan"

Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom

so crazy vegan's would say that we are exploiting the bees...

I'd prefer to call it, "Mutual Benefit"

should you eat fruits and vegetables?

after all... Farmers are "exploiting" the bees to pollenate the crops to grow produce to sell to the markets...

all crazy stuff..

many blessings mechanic ,

I believe it is how you say it to be so ..

it certainly does not harm or exploit the bees ,

and the gift from nature they do provide

and so be it

namaste
