Thirsty Bees

The heat and humidity in Washington is stifling -- we had our second day in a row of triple digits, and it's not really going to let up for a while. We also haven't had any rain for weeks. I never would have imagined that I would ever feel sorry for an insect, but I am feeling so bad for our poor little honeybees these days.

Karl set out a bucket of water with an old rag hanging in it that wicks water up on top of our shed. It's quickly become a popular hang out spot for the girls.

  2. Learning something new about bees. I had NO idea they would be in search of water. What a good idea!

  3. The new camera is FAR better than the photographer.
