Oh I saw lot's of bee boxes on my way to Oregon last week as we drove on Highway 5...many almonds...some citrus...new plantings of vineyards. Olive groves too, do bees go for olives?
It was pretty cool...I do love almonds, and thank the bees and their keepers for them...
Sometimes big commercial farming makes me feel blue...takes the heart out of it all in a way...but I guess that is for the coffee house eh?
