Covered in beeeees!!
Ok so you have to be an Eddie Izzard fan to get that reference... (Here you go!)
Anyway...
My seeds & bees arrived yesterday!
The bees are still in cocoons in two little plastic containers that I have to keep in the fridge... the advice is to put them in a container with wet paper towel to keep them moist. So I get a container out of the cupboard, put some paper towel in the bottom, nestle the bee containers in & then try an find a sharpie to label it so K knows they are bees. While I do this he is in the kitchen cooking dinner. I can't find a sharpie so I say that this is bees & put it in the back of the fridge. We eat dinner... I check my e-mails... I go have a shower... I go back on the computer to mess around with my iPod music... not long before bed K comes into the study & says... "I was listening but it didn't really register... did you say bees?" "Yes," I say, "not honey bees though." "But real buzzing bees?", he asks... "Yes... they are in cocoons & now we have to wait for spring to arrive."
I can't wait to start planting things... I might start some stuff inside... stuff in containers that I can put out but can bring back inside if needs be. I'm thinking of a greenhouse/shed to start things at the new place... & to protect the frost delicate plants in the fall... stupid short growing season!

Bees eh? THIS ought to be interesting.

Maybe I should look into whether or not I'm allergic to bee stings before I go too much further! ;)

Too funny, and I'm curious, even though I will not be purchasing any bees of my own.
