my grandpa too! I learned alot from him! I was fascinated when he was spinning honey off the combs and they would land on me but not sting! He use to let them sting him in his knuckles for arthritis he said! 🙏🏼🥰❤️🥰🙏🏼

My Gran kept at my Pop to do that, but he wouldn't.

He kept a bottle full of poke berries filled with gin. He'd take 6 poke berries per day.

Yes, bee stings also improve eyesight and I've been doing propolis tincture all my life, it's for everything.

I love that...."bee charmer"...awesome😄

From the movie, Fried Green Tomatoes...

But my Gran also said that years before the movie, so...

Great movie, btw.

A FRIEND AND I WORKED WITH HIS HIVES ON THE FARM WE NEVER WORE BEE SUITS I HAVE AN ACRE OF GARDEN AND TWO HIVES.

Lovely!

I'm hoping to get some bees in a horizontal hive next spring. I'll build the hive first, of course, then see if I can find a swarm & attract them to my "bee taxi" with essential oil of melissa, which they love!

I have always loved the sounds of bees. I really enjoy them when I'm out in the garden.

I'm planting a lot of nectar-bearing perennials this year so next year will be bountiful for the little critters! I want to have all that in place before I get the bees.

Putting in berry bushes & all kinds of permaculture this year.

That's exactly how it works. I do it the same way.
When I was very young, my great-grandfather taught me how to catch butterflies. He said whenever you want to get close to a butterfly or any other animal, imagine you're like them. You have to connect directly to them and they'll never run away or hurt you.
So I have tried this since I was about 3 years old on all animals and insects and it works. Every human has great abilities within them, most just don't know how to use them yet. But that's about to change. 🙂

That's funny!

I didn't know it worked with everything.

But when I'm out calling the rain, I get surrounded by dragonflies!

LOL

I'm going to have some fun playing around with things this year...
