I am absolutely fascinated by our little bees. We have two colonies now, and they are so very different from each other in personality and progress, even though they are right next to each other and have access to the exact same things. The original colony has much larger bees, and when we go in to inspect the hive, they are cool at first, but can get pretty fussy with us. I mean it when I say fussy. They aren’t mad, but you can see they will only tolerate so much before they send you the very clear message that we are making their day difficult, and we better leave them a treat after all this intrusion. The second colony has much smaller bees and they are about as mellow as it gets, unless you have a treat. A bunch grabby little bees they are. One little girl finds out that the nice giant with the glass pitcher has treats and the whole colony gets ultra grabby. GIMME GIMME GIMME. The other colony pretty much ignores her and her pitcher of sugar water. We are going to do another inspection this week and I am hoping to get a little bit more honey to sample. I am so excited for next year when we can actually start robbing real amounts of honey and sharing it with family and friends.

Little Red: an Everland Ever After Tale
Caroline Lee
4.6 Stars (27 Reviews)
Genre: Romance | Fantasy | Mythology & Folk Tales

FREE for a limited time

She’s gone over the river and through the woods, but who will protect her from the Big Bad Wolf? Rojita is in trouble; all she needs to do is get to her grandmother in Everland, but she’s being chased by El Lobo, one of the West’s most notorious gunslingers. It isn’t until she’s thrown herself head-long into danger that she realizes the old adage about frying pans and fires applies. She’s in desperate need of a protector, and hires the first man who comes along to get her safely to Everland. Bounty hunter Hank Cutter is more than ready to retire to a lonely little cabin in Arizona, to hang up his gun and find peace. He’ll begrudgingly help the reckless young woman get to the nearest train station, because he figures she’d get into even more trouble on her own. But when El Lobo struts back into his life — Hank still has the scars from their last encounter — he knows that he can’t leave Rojita at the gunslinger’s mercy. Maybe he’s nobler than he’d thought, because he’s soon setting a trap to save the lovely, impetuous Red. The only problem is that she’s still keeping a secret that could destroy his trust.

The Brides of Everland, Ever After Step into Everland, Wyoming, where the people on the street are more than what they appear, and there’s just a hint of magic in the air. From evil villains to mysterious godmothers, handsome cowboys to hidden princesses… welcome to Everland, Ever After.
