Four seasons of life, mine and the honeybees, in the garden and in the mountains of Western North Carolina
Experience is a brutal teacher. But you learn, my God, do you learn.

Silent Night...
Beekeeping has rewarded me with a wonderful and unexpected gift this year. I have made friends all over the world. To each of you, your families and friends - Merry Christmas! Lynn
Happy Merries to you and family Lynn. Thank you for the lovely words on my blog - I to have delighted in meeting a kindred spirit and such a wonderful champion for the bees ! Your garden looks so serene under the snow, mine has the sun beaming down and a gentle wind - the weather for the next few days is the same as today so I hope to get a spot of paddling done in the ocean ! Peace and Joy . .
Lynn: Thanks you for the wonderful kinship through those glorious creatures called honey bees -- and as a former Piedmontvillian (if theres such a word) too. May you and your family have the merriest Christmas ever, and a happy New Year too! Mark
PS - Two cases of shallow supers, frames with foundation and spacers arrived...AT MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE today! She said I have some packages for you! Santa made it a day early!
I have really enjoyed your blog and your photos. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope your bees do even better next year :)
Will there be bees in heavenly places? Will there be bees? Winging their way through the golden spaces To fruitify the eternal trees That yield their sweet life-giving store Month-by-month forevermore Will soft bee music haunt the stream Whose waters shine with crystal glow And will they come to where lilies gleam To sip the eternal nectar flow? Lord, Thou dids' love our earthly places Birds and flowers and shady trees Let there be bees in heavenly places Let there be bees.

I'm a Master Gardener and Certified Beekeeper in the mountains of Western North Carolina. I've been gardening for as long as I can remember and just completed my second season as a beekeeper. I've always loved being in my organic garden and I'm totally hooked on beekeeping.
I also love where I live. There are 4 distinct seasons in the mountains, although Mother Nature does not always respect the calendar, and each bring changes to my garden. All four seasons are beautiful. I hope you'll enjoy my view of life in the garden, beeyard and beyond in these beautiful hills.
