Bee Gallery, Penang  The Botanic Garden was in sight but
a pair of bees caught our interest and we had to
investigate.
   Welcomed to look inside, we found
a company with a huge interest in
the production of honey.
  We read about different sorts of bees.
 In Vietnam
they may fly in formation...........
  Tiny red
hornets to huge ones.
    Information and
anatomy about bees.
  The massive carpenter bee to the
itsy-bitsy trigona bee.
    There were some lovely bee action shots on the
wall.
 The we went into the shop, a bee wishing us Merry Christmas.
 We tasted all kinds of honey in the happily decorated shop. I haven’t had any of my
favourite honey for so long, that when I sampled a tiny bit of the slightly
sharp, slightly gritty, pale set – why not – but the lady with nary a glimmer of
_expression_ across her face announced thirty pounds and for Bear’s bit of honey
complete with comb another tenner, we bought a fridge magnet and headed for the
door.
 Outside, a
chap asked if we would like to see some bees in action, he pointed out
the queen (centre bottom).
  Out in the
open the workers quickly covered the queen but she did peep out once.
 I got to pose with
the happy little bees – the proud bearer of my fridge
magnet.
  We crossed the road once more and I got Bear to pose by the Moon Gate before heading to the
Botanic Garden.
ALL IN ALL A HAPPY LITTLE
DIVERSION
PITY THE HONEY WAS SO
EXPENSIVE |
