Day #325 Quarts of Feed

My bees have been eating a quart of sugar water each day now for a couple of weeks. I—who used to avoid the grocery store sugar aisle for the most part—now am buying ten pounds of sugar a week. Do you know how much that costs? I used to spend most of my budget on birdseed. Now it’s on bee-feed!

The woman at the checkout lane has eyed me up and down a couple of times. Maybe I should explain to her that the sugar is not for me.

Yesterday one of my neighbors stopped by to thank me for the honey I’d given her. “The best honey we’ve ever tasted,” she said. “My daughter never used to eat honey. She said it never tasted good, but she sure does like this!”

I guess the speaker at last month’s Beekeepers Club meeting was right when he said, “Give your neighbors honey, even if it didn’t come from your own bees. Just buy it from a good local honey producer. They’ll love you for it.” I followed his advice.

BEEattitude for Day # 325:
