The Pedigree of Honey
Does not concern the Bee —
A Clover, any time, to him,
Is Aristocracy —

Love it! Blessing the bees and their being
Amen. 💕
Purple flowers with yellow bees on them seem like a perfect color combo. Leave it to ED to write a quiet poem in praise of bees.
Yup, opposites on the color wheel are complementary. One of nature’s harmonious color schemes. And bees wisely know that simple tastes are the best…
Bee-utiful! 🐝
Thank you, Donna! 🐝
Somebody was in the right place at the right time to capture this beauty, huh, Barbara? And Emily always comes up with just the right message. Thanks for a day-brightener!
You’re welcome, Debbie! Definitely an amazing photo — I love browsing through pixabay and am amazed at the photography people are willing to share. And my book of Emily’s poems is very well worn.
My sister-in-law has beehives and gifts us with honey. I admire her for it.
Beekeeping is indeed an admirable occupation. Lucky you! We love finding local honey at our farmers market and try to buy enough to last through the winter.
Lucky that the honeybees are not picky about where they sip their nectar … any port in a storm will do says Emily Dickinson.
My father always preferred Orange Blossom Honey as opposed to Clover Honey. Sometimes he would settle for Wildflower Honey. I could never tell the difference but he was very picky, or should I say discerning? 😉
It’s funny because I can’t tell the difference either, but at a farm stand, when they have the bottles side by side, you notice it right away in the color, so the taste must be vastly different as well.
That’s true, they do have different coloring. Sweet stuff, no matter the flavor!
