Bee Inspiration

This morning, I took some quick photos of the bees in my garden. They were sipping from the autumn sunflowers. I was inspired and in a positive frame of mind on my way to the  Eastern Apiculture Society, Conference in Newark, DE, and I thought of the simple beauty of the bees.

I only found out about the conference the other day, so I ventured with my bee mentor Mick to the University of Delaware campus to see the gathering of beekeepers and to buy supplies directly from vendors at the conference.  Below are some photos of the different types of honey that were featured along with other products/crafts.

The bee crowd is friendly! I was able to get a great deal of good information in the short period of time that we spent in the exhibitor’s area.  Here is the link for Eastern Apiculture Society.  They are a wealth of information and I recently joined so that next year, I can participate when they go to Hampton, VA in August 2018.
