I thought you might like this infographic I helped build about the health, mental, and financial benefits of gardening (http://blog.lochnesswatergardens.com/how-gardening-benefit/). <br /><br />If you think your readers would like it too, please feel free to use it on the Terra Mirabilis blog. There's code at the bottom of our post that makes it super easy to post on your blog. It's all free (of course). If you have any questions about posting it, let me know and I'll try to help.<br /><br />I don't know where else to contact you so I just posted a comment here. :) <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />~ Janey<br />janealvarado83@gmail.comjanealvarado83https://www.blogger.com/profile/13251907224184406920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-46387434857490633722011-08-20T16:00:14.575-04:002011-08-20T16:00:14.575-04:00thank you, author, i like nature. hope you will fi...thank you, author, i like nature. hope you will find it <a href="http://zatoura.com.ua/" rel="nofollow"> путевки в Черногорию </a> interesting.

I keep meaning to get more posts written, but I've been so distracted by family matters.<br /><br />Perhaps your neighbors would be more interested if you promised them lots of honey? I've been dispensing honey to mine and they're thrilled. Also, my bees are about 6' away from, and facing, a fence covered with a tall bougainvillea so their flight path takes them straight up and away, not directly into anyone's garden. But on the whole, the bees are singlularly uninterested in people, even though my neighbors all report seeing more bees around.<br /><br />Maybe talk to a professional beekeeper to see what s/he says?<br /><br />-- PennyTerra Mirabilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889673556489343913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-35127242421433395232011-07-05T15:54:44.453-04:002011-07-05T15:54:44.453-04:00Hi Penny,

The more I'm happy to see you are back and even with this very interesting post about your honeybees. I would love to place a couple beehives in my garden but I also know about the understanding level of my neighbors in such matters. <br />Best Regards<br />Paula JoPJ | Home and Garden Decornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-76448781327804887312011-07-05T11:46:03.200-04:002011-07-05T11:46:03.200-04:00Hey, David.

The simplest way is to "host" hives for a professional. You get all of the benefits and none of the hassles!<br /><br />Glad to hear you're keeping hens. I was instrumental in getting our municipality to pass an ordinance allowing residents to keep them. I still don't have my coop, so I don't have any hens, yet. Very much looking forward to it, tho.<br /><br />--PennyTerra Mirabilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889673556489343913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-79892638945219010642011-06-29T00:24:38.166-04:002011-06-29T00:24:38.166-04:00Hi Penny,

My grandfather kept bees out on his farm as did my wife's uncle on his farm. We have so many honeybees here in my yard since I grow a lot of varieties of flowers all year long. I do wonder now where they live. They seem very healthy.<br />Ah..to have your own honey. What a treat.<br />Me? I've started raising my own chickens for fresh eggs. I have 6 friendly, happy hens in my garden as well as a chicken coop for them. Maybe I should look into bees as well.<br />Great post.

The bees adore roses.<br /><br />Sadly, the new growth on Vesuve didn't make it, so I'm looking forward to trying again.

It's hard not to like any honey, and this is no exception. Now it's a blend of everything made over the last six months and has a stronger flavor to that mentioned in the post.<br /><br />I should think oak blossom is a major contributor, but, according to steve, not mango, Apparently, S. Fla bees are not particularly fond of it, while they are in Jamaica. Anyway, whatever it is, all the pollen was gathered within three miles of our house, so it's a "garden" honey.

Always enjoy reading about your bees. I guess the honey tastes like whatever the bees are nectaring on? I don't know much about how that works except for the various names of honey indicating different flavors. What flavor does your honey produce? I'm so thankful my little garden has all sorts of bees and bumbles living happily about.<br />MeemsMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-16913027887278156462011-06-16T14:44:54.634-04:002011-06-16T14:44:54.634-04:00Thanks, Nana!

The beehive report is quite exciting, especially the honey you will receive for rent. One of the treats I enjoy in my garden is watching the various types of bees (bumbles included) who frequent my flowers.NanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425496284594894548noreply@blogger.com
