Getting outdoors and making the new year memorable
Happy New Year !
This new year marked the start of an exciting adventure after being introduced the first time to the native Australian stingless bees. In the photos they are the tiny little black spots, how nice to not have to be afraid of a bug bite or find a bee without a stinger.
This year’s summer holiday reading list included The Life of The Bee by Maurice Maeterlinck. Lots of interesting things the average person would not know, like a Queen Bee could die of loneliness without all her busy little buddies, shows how tight knit their communities are. We forget the world is all interconnected in some way. If we all do our little bit to look out for little creatures or our patch of the environment it can impact the collective community.

Our garden seems to be designed for bees. All their movement and activity makes me smile. Bees are amazing creatures!<br /><br />I love your artwork for Joy. I think paying attention to the little things is awfully important. Have fun tomorrow and Thurs. Can't wait to hear what you did.<br />~Marilee
Joy is my favorite word! Not just a word for a year, but my word for life! Enjoy your joy filled year.
Thanks so much for joining me in my first ever blog link party. <br /><br />Love the photo of the stingless bees, and the book sounds like a really interesting read. <br /><br />
Stingless bees….I never knew they existed! How wonderful to learn about nature in other countries!<br /><br />Love the word you chose for 2014. My word is balance, something I believe I need more of. :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Love the crate paper and basic grey projects!
Nice word – Joy! I wish you plenty of it in 2014. Jane x
