A Taste of Honey

 

Scot-Michael: Hey. What's all this about?

Nicholas Sahara: I was just thinking this morning how some 
fresh honey would go delightfully with tea and toast.  
Marmalade can be so dreadfully tedious.

Nicholas: I thought I would wander over to the 
beehives, calm the dear bumbles with a bit of smoke, 
and collect some lovely honey.

Scot-Michael: Forgetting, of course, that we 
don't have any beehives.
Nicholas: Ah, yes. Quite.
You've found the flaw in my plan.

Scot-Michael: C'mon back inside.
I'll make you some tea and toast with strawberry jelly.
Nicholas: >Sigh<  I really fancied honey.
Scot-Michael: It's not the same I know, but 
we can run to the corner shop later.
Nicholas: Promise?
Scot-Michael: May I bee stung if I bee lyin'.
Nicholas: >Groan< Oh, Scout...

Bernard the Bee:  Bzzz!

Mmm yes a slight problem Nicholas Sahara having all the gear but no actual bee hive. Here we have the bee hive but no bees or gear ! I hope that Bee didn't sting ! I'm sure they we make a dash to the shop for some honey or maybe a certain Duchess has a few hundred jars to spare . . . . or was that jam . . . . .

this might be a good time to learn the art of apiculture AND have some yummy honey for all your hard work! We're a bit afraid here as all our bees are now "africanized" meaning KILLER BEES! But, I am sure yours so far north would be the nice kind!
