Dance of the Bumblebees...

I love the taste of fresh honey... especially the dark winter honey that I bought at the Wilson Czech Festival last year. I couldn't wait to get it home and start tasting it on almost everything: fruit, crackers, fresh bread. I've baked with it and added it into sauces. You name it I've tried it. It's been nine months and I'm almost out - so sad, but I do have the number to get more.

That love of honey and my daily walks have me thinking about bees. I love watching the BIG bumblebees in my garden. They always seem so busy, so graceful.

Here are a couple of items I found on Etsy that I BEElive are worth a second look.

This Steampunk Necklace by Ballyhoo Jewelry was the first piece to catch my eye.

    Michelle,
    I love the steampunk necklace with the bee! Very cute. I'll have to go look for some bee items. I have used a bee charm in several of my pendant necklaces.....they all sold quickly! Nice post! Can't wait to get my box!

    very cute items. unfortunatley my severe allergy to bee stings leads to a general dislike of bees :(
