Do any of you keep bees, I wonder?
I know Sarah does, and she takes beautiful photos.
Beehives can be very inspirational.
Bruyère Curieuse has some nice ideas on her blog.
You may even find one in her online shop if you're lucky.
I think Imke Klee's "Authentic Beauty" photographs are stunning*.

One of our neighbours has been keeping bees for over 30 years. We buy our honey from him and are now thinking about keeping some of our own. Well, I say " we", it's Dominique's idea actually...

I came across a nice pink beekeeper's box in Hindsvik's vintage store a couple of weeks ago. It was soon snapped up of course, but what can you do with such an object apart from displaying it?

HoneyI would also love to visit the "Honey Bee and the Hive" exhibition, curated by Wendy Ramshaw, showing at Contemporary Applied Arts, London (26 March-1st May).
"Honey Bee and Hive" brings together the work of twenty eight craftsmen and women inspired by the wonder of the bee. All share a common concern for our dramatically diminishing bee population and have produced unique, useful and decorative objects to share with those who care for both bees and beauty.

I love bees, always wanted to keep them, one day I hope to be able to.
ReplyDeleteI wish you every sucess with this endevour.
I remember hearing one day of a bee keeper who knew that their bees had travelled over the hill, about seven miles away, to visit a particular patch of flowers when they came into bloom.
It is a wonder to have creatures that travel out into the world and return with such a magical harvest.
Oh, I am in love with bees. I love that last set by Joanna Veveers. That would be wonderful in my living room. AND, bees make honey - what is more amazing than that?
ReplyDeleteI love this post.
ReplyDeleteNY made beehives legal in the city last month!

Let us know whether you decide to take the plunge and keep some bees of your own. (that's when the vintage pink beekeeper's box would have come in handy, you want to keep bees in style, don't you? :)
Laurent, I've had a word with our neighbour and I think Dom is going to spend an afternoon with him talking about apiculture and getting to know the ropes, as it were. He has two empty hives, which I walk past every day, so we'll see how things develop.
ReplyDeleteThe pink box would have been nice, your right. I think beekeeping would be a great experience for our children.
Thanks for the link, I'll have a look.
