Did I tell you we are getting bees? Well we are.
We bought some honey from a guy selling honey on the roadside this past summer, and Jim ended up talking to him for awhile (which I'm used to). The man offered at that time to mentor Jim with bees, but we weren't quite ready to get any yet. Well, the man called Jim last week and asked him if he was still interested in doing bees, that he would still mentor him and show him what all he knows about raising bees. What an opportunity, it is one we just couldn't pass up, tho we weren't quite ready to start yet, we are now :)
Don't you just love the cute bees and beehive? My daughter-in-law made them. They are hand rolled chocolate for the Pooh and Friends cake she made for our granddaughter who turned 2 on Saturday.
Kate had a hard time with Tigger's head, so she had him diving into the cake instead of sitting like the rest.
Isn't it cute? Kate does such a great job, I keep saying she needs to open up her own business making cakes for all occasions.
Time is starting to wind down for us here :( I still have a bit more to share with you on our San Antonio trip yet.
Hope Y'All are doing fine today!
and adorable cake! i laughed at tigger taking the plunge, but quite fitting, i think!
good luck with the bees! something new to experiment with on your acreage!

Love the cake. I would like to learn more about beekeeping. Maybe over the Summer.

Oh that is the neatest cake! I could just dive right in like Tigger! You are right, she should go into the cake baking business.
Good luck with the bees!

Love the cake...and glad you are getting bees! I don't know anything about bees, other than they get in a foul mood if it is bad weather. Ask me how I know if you are interested!

What a cute cake. She is very talented! Bees! Go for it. We buy locally grown honey. My dad kept bees. I think you'd do well at it.

Your daughter-in-law is VERY talented! I used to bake and sell decorated cakes (including wedding cakes) so I think she should definitely think about doing this! Really cute cake! And as far as having bees...I think about doing that sometimes. I had a LOT of bees visiting my yard here when I was feeding the hummingbirds and I had to take the nectar feeders down there were so many. The hummers couldn't even get to the feeders. It's something I am very interested in.

You're right -- she does need to open her own shop! That cake is incredible! My husband has a friend who has gotten into beekeeping these last couple of years and loves it. Hopefully yours will too:)
