So I learned from Michelle in her very informative post at Rambling Woods. Thanks, Michelle, and thanks to all the bees, birds, insects, and bats who do such important pollination work.
These bee boxes sit among the olives and other trees native to the Mediterranean Woodland type of forest.
The beekeeper said it was a record harvest of honey this year. Sweet!When he is tending his bees I am not allowed to walk my regular path in the woods.
From here in the Jerusalem Hills we see Jerusalem over on the hilltop.
Every weekend you can enjoy other bloggers' animal pictures at the Camera-Critters meme.
Hmmm... I think I can't go near a beehive... I am afraid to get sting!
ReplyDeleteMy camera critters picture is posted HERE.

This is really nice! I just love honey. Thank God for the bees.
ReplyDeleteNice post. Especially nice seeing the Hills again! Toda!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
That is really interesting. I wouldn't expect the hives to be kept in the woods but it does make sense now that I think about it. I am a coward, always afraid of being stung so I would probably avoid that area as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteSome gorgeous scenery in this series...nothing beats fresh honey!
ReplyDeleteI'm very allergic to those critters, to you won't find anything like that near me. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting about bees and how lucky those bees are!!!! The poor bees are losing their way back to their hives and who hives are dying. They think it might be pesticides as one factor..We need bees to grow our food...
ReplyDeleteDina: That is a way to capture a whole family of creayures at once. Very nice CC post.
ReplyDeleteOhhh... bees!! i'm very afraid of them.. used to get stung a lot as a kid.. but i find them fascinating and i love honey!
ReplyDeleteInformative post and great pictures. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI understand all about how helpful and beneficial the bees are, because we had an apple orchard, and we just started another orchard here on the new farm.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I must confess - I have a fear of bees, which is the result of stepping on a yellow jacket's nest as a child.
This is a great post - as always! ;-)
interestng bee population ahs dropped 25 per cent nationwide - they do not know why?
ReplyDeleteHenry does a tremendous impersonation of a bee. It’s great to see these pictures, they tell an interesting tale.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's uncle use to tend to bees.....there was Always fresh honey.....hughugs
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd WANT to walk my regular path til the bees were finished their work and gone back to sleep! Ha! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that you are not having problems with the lack of bees that the U.S. is having. They're having trouble getting crops pollinated because of the dwindling bee population.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the bees. I've always wanted to be a bee keeper.
ReplyDeleteoh, how I like looking at bees and hives, found your blog via PasadenaAdjacent, and love the pics of Jerusalem, would love to visit one day... we have 3 hives
