Bat Cave, NC SOURWOOD hot off the presses!! Whoooo so excited!

This year the basswood failed (which I was very sad about) but this means more pure sourwood frames I get to train my taste buds on!

Pulling honey and extracting all this week! ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ

Beeing in a hive and extracting honey during a flow, is a most intense and sensual experience.
Standing here and taking this picture after being in the thick of hive activity and little urgent bee deliveries-with humidity and heat rising, infusing the summer swelter with honey drips and wax slapsโ€ฆ.
Gods this ambrosia makes me weak in the knees.
Diving into the steady thrum and buzz and roar of the hive that is in love with itself and all that is around it.
then inhaling this otherworldly cacophony that is permeating out of warmed hive bodies and is woven of pheromones and flower s3gs juices and pollen ferments and warm fuzzy vibrating bee bodies and jubilee
I canโ€™t evenโ€ฆ I am very blessed!
Thank you, little wee dragons ๐Ÿ‰ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’™

Some of the sweetest alchemy is experienced here, by Bee and Keeper.

I have recently suffered a concussion and am taking it easy. Soundbathing my head in the air that is buzz-full-of-bees actually felt pretty good.

The weather is weird and alarming. Bees are doing what they can.

I love these resilient beeings so much.

Excuse me looking a hot mess.

Have you ever held bees and rubbed them through your fingers?

One of my favorite ways to connect with these dragons and come back into my body.
Itโ€™s actually very calming for me and really brings me into the Moment.
Plus I get to pet them! And FEEL their communication. They buzz and chirp and twitch and lick and chew run all around. Talking all the time!

Did you know bees communicate through vibration (sound) and scent?
And did you know that there are chakras (heart chakras) in the palms of your hands?
When I hold the bees like this, I feel their warm little bodies, their tiny dancing feet and their proboscii lapping at my skin. I can feel their buzzing and ticking and gyrating. Simply put, I can FEEL them talking.
I wonder at whatโ€™s being said in this ancient bee language. Are they talking to me? I wonder....Maybe so and maybe not...
But I talk to them. I hold them on my heart chakra and speak love to them and healing. Not really so much with words but with my intentions and thoughts and with the simple (but EXTREMELY POWERFUL) offering of my Presence.
I AM the Loving Witness.
I AM the Holy Observer.
I AM the Willing Servant.
As above, so below. What is given is returned. I give them my gratitude and love and feel it returned to me. ๐Ÿ˜
Thank you Tiny Ancient Beeings!
May your Hive Grow and Flourish with the Bounty and Love of this Earth ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’™โค๏ธ

Check this communication. See that lovely bee vibrating with all that pollen on her back legs? This my friends, in what is known as a โ€œwaggle dance.โ€ (New hit dance move among the kids?? )
Here she is showing off her load of pollen to the other bees pressed against her. Who are eagerly listening to and following her dance.
Notice how big her pollen haul is? This means she is strong and healthy. She is able to forage and carry heavy loads and bring it back to the Hive.
See her dance?? With this dance she is communicating the distance and the direction to the very patch of flowers that she gathered the pollen from. Pretty amazing right? .
And these arenโ€™t just any old flowers with just any old pollen. Nope. Bees forage for the BEST. They are all about efficiency with the highest amount of Quality. Bees harvest from the strongest, most vibrant, Holy sources. The literature around this concept describes it in less lofty terms: they call this โ€œfood-site profitability.โ€ .
This โ€œfood-site profitabilityโ€ (interesting how these words sound so capitalistic ....๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”) can change hourly. Foragers are very sensitive to the changes in the quality of this... (letโ€™s rename that old term...) this Robustness/LifeFlow/Song-of-Health-and-Abundance that a flower offers. Since it can be fleeting, she finds herself visiting many flower patches throughout the day that are offering this Holy Bounty to her and the Hive. So she may do this waggle dance up to 12-15 times a day, after foraging over an area of up to 100km2. .
๐Ÿ‘‰Life lessons here???
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰Work/Play/Be(e)with those parts of your life that bring you the most LifeFlow and Joy and Vibrance and Quality Soul Food. While you may have to do lots of searching and re-searching, DONT settle for anything less. This makes for a strong, healthy, and utterly vibrant existence. Love yourself and allow yourself the best.
Always. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‰
For the Good of the Hive ๐Ÿ–ค
