My dad has always liked doing things the "colonial" way, so he made his own bread and we made candles too. he would have probably had bees if he wasn't deathly allergic to their sting. He still makes sourdough bread every week. Haha he talked about getting a sheep when I was doing my own weavings. <BR/>good luck with your New Years Resolution - what a great thing to teach your children.spread your wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011822215520854377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175376557395376488.post-88234677407543760172009-01-08T07:38:00.000-08:002009-01-08T07:38:00.000-08:00When my husband was a kid my in-laws kept bees.

I would stick to buying honey!

Unfortunately the poor hive was in a pretty rotten old tree and it ended up being destroyed and the bees have moved on. <BR/><BR/>I noticed this past summer that there were several honey bees hanging around our garden though, so hopefully they can find another close spot to build a new hive!<BR/><BR/>Is there anyone close to you who raises bees? I think that whole process is facinating.thekreativelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511037706309003864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175376557395376488.post-89131080498554095422009-01-07T13:13:00.000-08:002009-01-07T13:13:00.000-08:00I agree - the new blog header is fantastic!

We still have jars of my grandpa's honey and we use it on special occasions. <BR/><BR/>And if nothing else, beekeeping makes for great stories. I'll have to ask my mom to write out her story about bringing the bees home in her car when they all escaped, hee hee, it would make a hilarious post!Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804753876814970882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175376557395376488.post-49735205686554168912009-01-07T10:30:00.000-08:002009-01-07T10:30:00.000-08:00Oh my!
