NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

To Bee or Not To Bee ...

We've got a bee hive (or, more accurately, Mrs TM has got a bee hive!):



First impressions are that they are very calm, and are quite happy for us to sit in the garden with them. They are currently very busy building the inside of their new home and we hope that we will have some honey before the end of the Summer.

did you buy that or make it? I like the idea of having one, if you bought it, where did you get it?

Sags - They are Australian bees, and are very calm.

Daz - We bought the beehive; I'll ask Mrs Turbo Man where we got it from and post the link here.

It's very therapeutic watching them.

This is the place that we got our beehive from:

The bees were in addition to that; we used Easy Bees.
