Today friends from work and their children came to visit the bees. There were 8 kids ranging from 9 months to 8 years old, and all of them were very enthusiastic about bees. We talked a little bit about how important and special honey bees are and then we took a peek inside of the bee hive. I was so impressed with how brave and curious all of the kids were. Afterward, we tasted honey from both of our hives. Interestingly, the TBH honey tastes like licorice! I'm attributing the flavor to the wild fennel growing in the creek.
All in all, a truly fantastic day!
