Following my last post on my weblog (view from our studio), I was approached on FaceBook by an imker. He asked me where the picture was taken and whether there was more giant balsemien in our garden. Well to make a long story short, this is how I ended up with a beehive in our garden. Sometimes FaceBook is allright.
All along the edges around the yard blooms a lot of balsemien. (I hope this is the right translation.) Apparently bees love these plants. In about a few weeks when the blooms of the balsemien are gone the imker comes to pick up the beehive. In the meantime we enjoy the bees.
Here is a beautiful photo of a vanilla cake. I haven’t tried the recipe yet.You can find it here: The almond eater

I checked out the almond eater–she has such a lovely site.
…as do you. I love bees, and we have so few. What we do have are tons of bumble-bees. I love them too.
