honey, did you know?, originally uploaded by • Eliane •.
Did you know that bees were sent by mail? I’m not sure I did know that, but I’m reading a really interesting book about bees (The Queen Must Die by William Longgood) and learning all kinds of things about bees, their lives, and their culture.
The Royal York Hotel in Toronto has rooftop hives; they gather in part from the hotel’s rooftop garden and the honey is used in the hotel’s restaurants.
Enjoy! If you like the photo, please drop a comment to the original photographer at Flickr.
