During our workshops I'm careful to explain about spinning lightly on the first side to avoid breaking the wax foundation. ;)Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-73981055011170377012016-12-04T13:46:15.245+10:302016-12-04T13:46:15.245+10:30Sherri, thanks for telling us about the Teddy Bear...Sherri, thanks for telling us about the Teddy Bear bee.

And there are so many species of them. I've never seen a Carpenter bee. I wonder if they are native to your area of Australia. I have lots to research on Mr Google. :) Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-56613233532332818942016-12-03T14:38:01.826+10:302016-12-03T14:38:01.826+10:30Oh Sherri, sounds like you would be in your elemen...Oh Sherri, sounds like you would be in your element suited up and getting in among the bees. You wouldn't need to worry about hurting them as soon as you learned the basics. I don't know the Teddy Bear bees, but am about to look it up. :) Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-13416009061173438172016-12-03T14:34:29.878+10:302016-12-03T14:34:29.878+10:30Chel, it was lovely to receive kind thanks and goo...Chel, it was lovely to receive kind thanks and good feedback in the days following, so the participants must be enjoying their busy bee keeping day.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-72088842209045588212016-12-01T15:55:58.973+10:302016-12-01T15:55:58.973+10:30I find bees fascinating, Sally.

I could sit and watch these little creatures all day! I love to see them taking off and returning again to their little entrance. We have lots of honeybees visiting with the flowers here. Blue-banded bees too. Once we even saw (and heard) a carpenter bee. So huge, It sounded like a mini helicopter!! Your bee workshops would be amazing to come along too...wish I lived nearby!

I would ...I would be one of the nervous ones Sally. I would be scared of doing something wrong and hurting the bees. I wonder if I would be scared about being surrounded by so many bees? I don't think so because when I am gardening in my keyhole garden and the plants therein are full of flowers I am surrounded by bees. I have my head stuck in amongst the plants working away and the bees just buzz all around me. I like to identify the different types of bees working around me. My favourite bee visitor is the Teddy Bear bee, though I have never seen one visit my keyhole garden, I have seen solitary Teddy Bear Bees visiting my duranta bush.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322236537807536688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-23239713153615351842016-11-30T21:13:16.166+10:302016-11-30T21:13:16.166+10:30What a lovely time everyone would have had, Sally....What a lovely time everyone would have had, Sally. I am sure that everyone who attended really appreciated your input. We had a similar workshop here at the beginning of the year for our simple living group. I didn't go as we don't keep bees any more but those who went along learned a lot. Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.com
