Busy Bee -- Une abeille bien occupée

August 16, 2007

Dessert

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!

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?

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

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

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 verO

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.

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.
Lydia · August 17, 2007
The bees in my garden adore the garlic chive blossoms! Do they make honey that tastes of garlic, I wonder....
Hillary · August 17, 2007
You even make bees look pretty with your photos - Bea! :)
monica · August 19, 2007
such a lovely way to capture the essence of honey! happy baking to you, too, bea!

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!
Karen · August 20, 2007
oh my gosh :) such a pretty sight to behold!

I'm deeply impressed about your pictures. Greetings from munic!
Rayc · August 17, 2007
Wow. those pictures. You must be really close-up!!!! (or, you've got a really powerful camera with excellent zooming.) heh!
Béa · August 19, 2007
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!
avital · August 17, 2007
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!

I love honey, Bea - my mom used to mix honey and lime juice and give to us when we had a sore throat. :)
Nicole · August 17, 2007
Bea, Beautiful bee photos! You'll notice a funny 'bee' coincidence if you visit my blog :-)

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.
