bee dreams...

ever since i read this book,

the secret life of bees

by sue monk kidd,

i've wanted to have bees!

~~~

this book isn't about bees.

the women in this book raise bees

and that's where the bee references comes from.

the book,

simply stated,

is the story

of a young girl

finding a family.

~~~

read this book!

~~~

and then read it again!

~~~

i did!

~~~

the movie was out

a couple years ago

and it was great,

but the book,

is better.

~~~

at least for me,

the book is

always, always better!

always!

~~~

it is sooo good!

~~~

a good summer book...

~~~

and now i love bees!

~~~

amy gave me this honey pot.

it's old and has bees on it.

what's not to love?
~~~

these are some of the hives

i drive by frequently.

aren't they so pretty and colorful?
~~~

i'm pretty sure we need a couple

of these beauties

in our back yard!

my husband isn't as sure...

~~~

i love 'em!

"honeybees depend not only
on physical contact with the colony,
but also require
its social companionship and support.
isolate a honeybee
from her sisters and she will soon die."
~~~
the queen must die: and other affairs of bees and men
~~~
taken from
the secret life of bees
~~~
see,
bees are just like us...
we need our sisters
(gramas, aunts, moms, sisters, girlfriends)
just like bees need their sisters!
~~~
maybe that's why i love em!

wishing you a day with sisters...
