Busy Bee — Une abeille bien occupée
August 16, 2007
Busy Bee that I am!
And so is she! (yes, in French, a bee is always a “she”, even if P. always call them “he”) Language is funny, isn’t it?
So even if I do not have as much time to blog these days, I still wanted to share the work of a busy bee that I found in our small garden. I am a bit upset actually, because she ate all of my garlic chive flowers! La grosse gourmande !
Luckily, it is a good thing that I like honey!
Do you?
Have a nice weekend, everyone. And happy cooking, if you are in the kitchen!

Bravo Bea, elle sont si difficiles a capturer en photo. De meme que le miel qui coule. Magnifique.

Au risque de me répéter ! mais qu’importe, la poésie est toujours là… et l’abeille est plus vraie que nature… bon week end.

Ooooh, tes photos sont magnifiques Béa ! J’adore ce beau vert profond et cette abeille immortalisée en plein travail de récolte, c’est splendide ! C’est fou ce que que peut révéler une simple photographie ! je suis admirative devant tant de beauté naturelle…
Amicalement blog,

Wow. those pictures. You must be really close-up!!!! (or, you’ve got a really powerful camera with excellent zooming.) heh!

I keep a garlic chive in a pot on the patio, just because I love the shooting flowers, which yes, are thick with bloom — and she-bees!

I love honey, Bea – my mom used to mix honey and lime juice and give to us when we had a sore throat.

Not that big of a bee fan, but it’s fun to just sit and watch them. How they fly from one flower to the other. Always in motion. That’s also I way of living, I guess.

j’aime bien le miel et à ma grande honte, je n’avais pas réalisé qu’il coulait dans la cuillère (merci Grcianne).. mais à ma décharge, j’étais en admiration et en fascination par la capture de l’abeille juste à côté et surtout à son battement d’ailes. C’est encore une fois époustouflant!

Lovely photos of the garlic chive blossoms. My bees are rather fond of them, also… and the oregano blossoms!

You even make bees look pretty with your photos – Bea!

The bees in my garden adore the garlic chive blossoms! Do they make honey that tastes of garlic, I wonder….

C’est vrai que la langue anglaise est parfois tres “funny”. D’ailleurs, je trouve plus sympa à entendre, à dire et à lire les mots “a busy bee” que “une abeille occupée”. La langue de Moliere est très belle et riche, mais parfois un peu trop compliquée.
Tes photos sont très belles comme d’habitude et celà me donne vraiment envie de m’offir cet objectif “macro” que je lorgne depuis quelques temps.
Bien à toi

A honey bee is always a she even if they are all drones.
We must all be projecting feeling onto the animals.
I got some really great photos last year of bees on my sunflowers but not this year.

Bea,
Beautiful bee photos! You’ll notice a funny ‘bee’ coincidence if you visit my blog

[...] I just happened to run across some other bee photos at one of my favorite food blogs, La Tartine Gourmande. I must admit, they are much more [...]

J’adore le miel, pas trop les abeilles. Je viens de passer un drôle de weekend avec un mélange d’américains et de français tout plein de malentendus. En voilà un bon. Laurence (40 ans) dit à ma nièce (7 ans): “Give me a French kiss.” Il fallait voir la tête qu’a fait la petite.

Ooo…I do love honey and I love those pictures. Never knew how garlic chives flowers look like until now. Would the honey taste garlicky?
Comment by Hann — On August, 19th, 2007 at 5:52 am
Superbe…Un moment de détente bienvenu…Superbe photos…
Comment by Olivier — On August, 19th, 2007 at 6:06 am
Thank you everyone. These pictures were taken in my garden (small, so small!). Yes good point about the honey, ahah, I wonder if the honey would taste like garlic indeed!
Imagine that!
