Thank you for your kind words! My neck of NM (I live near a tiny vollage called Coyote 😉) is brimming with gorgeous fall colors; cottonwoods, aspen, oak... Hope yours is full of beauty, too!
Ahh...the sound of bees in the Berkeley hills. My home was above the Claremont Hotel in the hills...right on the Oakland-Berkeley line. I had rosemary bushes lining my entire house...and they were always filled with bees doing their thing. The sound was indeed memorable... Thanks for the bee information - the declining population of bees is sad - very sad!
Oh yes -- I remember the neighborhood, friends were living somewhere around there. Living among rosemary bushes must have filled the air with lovely scent. And indeed, it's sad what's happening with bees. I wish I could have a hive, just to take care of them, not for the honey. But I'm aftaid it's too much work.
Thank you so much Jessica. I did the first draft. For some reason was compelled to check back tonight. I was very happy to find a couple more pieces I can add to the story. Thank you again.
Thank you for this article about bees. 🐝 I find them so interesting & I have been wanting to learn more, so you gave me a good start!
Thank YOU, Heidi! I got your email, and I'm glad you subscribed. Last summer I interviewed a beekeeper and wrote an article about it: https://abiquiunews.com/news-and-features/apiculture-101-meet-beekeeper-stan-bader
You might find it interesting; he shared lots of fascinating facts.
This article, alone, is worth the subscription to access your lovely site. Thanks from a fellow New Mexican!

Check out “Give the Bees a chance” project by Paul Stamets . Wonderfully hopeful.
