    Oh forgot to mention I received your book yesterday it was for my wife. Since she was going to the USA that day I slipped it in to her case without her knowing. My son (who went with her) said she was chuffed to bits when she opened the case and there was your book waiting for her she was delighted. Thanks for signing it.

    You are such a lovely person. THANK YOU for sharing and being so open about your journey with anxiety. I can completely relate and have learned to cope and self soothe in many different ways throughout the years. Accepting and loving myself and not judging how I feel has helped the most.
    Cleaning, organizing, gardening and doing something /crafty always helps.
    Therapy in a Nutshell has SO much useful, information, love her!
    Congratulations on your new book! I wish you continued success, peace, love and harmony.
    Much Love from Texas 🤗

    Hi Catherine, I had a laugh when you said bees from Ireland are different than bees from Italy- I understand completely what you meant but laughed because I pictured bees with all sorts of different accents. Love your videos. All the best.

    It's the 2nd sting that tells whether you have an allergic reaction. The first one enters your system. The 2nd one is the reaction your immune system responds to it. So if someone has a reaction, it would be the 2nd or more time they are stung. I was a medic.

    So excited for your bees. Love the box color. Glad you are out meeting new friends. Such a pretty orchard. I'm sure the apple blossoms smelled heavenly. Pretty antique shop.
    Have you ever made wildflower seed bombs. Mix seed together or just use one type of seed. Mix damp garden soil and compost together add seeds. Roll into mud balls about the size of a golf ball. Allow to dry a little. Before a rain just throw them in your garden or a meadow and the rain will plant them for you. Fun to do with your niece and nephew. We made bombs of Texas Bluebonnets and Indian Paint Brushes to throw along the highway in non-mow areas. They are so pretty. Enjoyed your video. Thanks.

    I so wish I was not severely allergic to bees. I always wanted to have a hive of bees. I refuse to give up gardening because of bees, as one bee versus 20 thousand, I have a better chance to get to the ER even with my anaphylaxis kit! I am so glad you are able to keep bees pretty soon, so I will vicariously live through your videos as a beekeeper !

    You can develop bee allergies after several stings. It's a progressive allergy where the more times you get stung the more antibodies your body makes. Always carry Benadryl with you. If it gets worse then you will need an epi pen. My cousin died from bees and several years later my uncle was hospitalized from 1 sting. So be safe while you enjoy the 🐝🌻. Oddly enough my Grandpa was a beekeeper and he never used a suit. Never developed an allergy.
    I love your suit with the mesh. Wonderful video 💕

    Welcome to the beekeeping community! I have been a beekeeper for 14 years now and it is the greatest hobby. There's nothing so calm and peaceful as watching your bees go in and out of the hive. Enjoy...and blessings on your endeavor!

    So nice to see this side of beekeeping. We had an almond orchard in California and in late winter, early spring we would have to rent hives for the orchard. We would watch the temps to make sure the weather was warm enough for the bees to come out of the hive. Almond blossoms are blush white but since bees prefer yellow over all other colors we would make sure to get rid of as many fiddle necks and dandelions as possible. We wanted them collecting almond nectar not their preferred junk foods. :-)

    My husband and I bought bees about 6 years ago and the most important thing the first year is to inspect the hive often. We gave them powdered pollen as a supplement and a nectar (liquid) the first year and we didn’t take their honey. With the bee suit, smoke, and calm energy you will not get stung. 🐝 Looking inside the hive is miraculous. It is like looking through God’s window into their life. It’s amazing to find/identify the queen and each of the baby bees being cared for and the guardian bees at the door are so interesting. The whole beehive community is an amazing world. (I never did a video on them on my channel so I look forward to yours!) I know you will enjoy the bees and it’s not as much work as you might think. ❣️

      And wait for a clear, not-too-blustery day to inspect. Changes in air pressure and clouds that interfere with their navigation do make them cranky.

    Bacopa is annual but if you cherish them in your greenhouse they might survive. Deutzia is in every colour from white to deep pink, blooming from March to deep in Juli. Do try to find the different varieties.

    I’ve always called a box with a handle like that a trug. I have some vintage ones I use for my art supplies, a galvanised metal one for garden tools and a plastic one I carry all of my cleaning gear in. We have wanted to have a bee hive for a while, so I’m looking forward to following your journey. Also looking forward to your book arriving in the post.
