Happy Mothers Day Queen Bee

The Queen Bee is the Mother of all Mothers. Flowers would die without bees.
I was in my yard a few weeks back. The fruit trees were all in bloom. The buds from apples, plums, apricots, and peaches were infusing the air with sweetness. And there was also a hum. I put my chair under the apricot tree and felt the powerful hum of the bees. They covered the blossoms and made their heavenly hum. It is a sound I enjoy so very much. I felt at one with these bees.
Click on the "Happy Mothers Day Queen Bee" above and you will be taken to the link of a new film called Vanishing Bees. You can watch the Trailer. Is this a crisis? Most everyone seems to think so. I would imagine the same folks who don't believe in Global Warming will also not believe in the Colony Collapse.
When I move I want to start having a few hives. I don't know how to get the bees or even how to start but I want to have some hives.
The state I live in now is one of the few with no reported Colony Collapse.
I Wish all the Bees in the world a Happy Mothers Day. They have done so much for us. They have never asked for anything in return.
The picture of the White Flower is from a trip I took to Hawaii. I love Hawaii. I love Flowers and I Love Bees!

Every Day is Earth Day!

Every day is Earth Day we Humans just don't know it. This Rose was a gift to me from the Earth. Thank you Mother Earth.

I have been following the principles set forth by The Perelandra group. It is very different and I find it does work. It is called the Co Creative Process. You work with Nature in Partnership. Check it out.

Get some Flowers

Today I bought some flowers. I was going to buy a small houseplant but did not find any that looked as if they would last through the winter. I got these Mums instead. The smell of mums is rather odd. It is not a sweet flower smell. What is this weird smell? Sorta grounded and earthy but also astringent. It is a smell I crave.

This book I have on houseplants, reports on the effects plants have on improving the indoor air quality. Mums are high on the list of air cleansing plants.

I am sleeping with my Mums tonight.

Good Night Sweet Mums.
