A Bee Story
Somebody on one of my email lists posted this story yesterday. It’s so good, I have to share:
This morning, Vernon told me a bee story that he heard from Daniel and Jonas (his father and brother) who attended the organic beekeepers conference in Arizona.
One of the speakers described an experiment that he did with honey. One morning, he put some honey about 20 feet from the hives and the bees picked it all up. The next morning, he put the honey about 40 feet from the hives and again, the bees took all the honey. The next morning, he put the honey about 60 feet from the hives, and the bees gathered all of it. The next morning, he had a plan to put the honey further away from the hives and discovered that the bees were already at a location 80 feet from the hive—waiting for him.
Vernon said that Daniel and Jonas have a lot of bee stories to share.
