The power of a mother

  As I mentioned in a previous post , my mother spent a lovely week with us and my boy was very happy to be with his grandmother. I had the opportunity to take care of myself, get some things done and to cook several times a day for everyone, which I enjoyed so much! Not so long ago I started to take pianoclasses . I love them. Moreover, my teacher and I (she is 3 years younger than me) became friends. She has spent the last month in Japan and I cannot wait to see her and to tell me everything about it! Back to my mother: so my mother has never seen me playing (I have sent her some short records of me playing) as we live several hours apart and she has not visited since I’ve had it.   One of the days that we were spending together, I asked if she wanted to hear me play. She got excited and said yes right away. I told her that I have not practiced in almost a month, just did not have the time (I know it sounds silly, especially, since the piano is in my bedroom) and while m...

Sunday with my bees

 

honey,bees,flowers

I do not think I have shared this, but my partner and I have 153 beehives, which all started a few years ago with only 10 of them. Actually, something happened this past winter and unfortunately only 28 active hives were left this Spring. We were quite surprised because we expect some losses after every winter, however, it is usually around 10-15%, but this year was unbelievable. Now, we have managed to make them around 40 hives. We decided to change the breed with one, for which they say, is very calm.

I have to admit, I was scared to be around them even with the special outfit. With the years, around four now, I learned to work with them and now I love it. The sound they make is very calming for me, it makes me forget about everything and I just focus on taking care of them. Yesterday was the first time I’ve been bitten! Almost no reaction on my skin, which is great! Moreover, thankfully I do not have an allergy. My partner and I spent six hours with them yesterday and I felt amazing. I was so tired at the end of the day but I was so ready to see my boy, who was with his grandparents so we quickly took a shower and went to get him.

I think bees are very interesting creatures; the way they take care of their beehive and build their honeycomb is amazing. We are very lucky with the place we put them because they are next to Danube river and a small acacia forest, also there are a lot of different fruit trees and flowers.

It is a very challenging and hard to take care of bees, but I remind myself it is a good thing to do for the planet, so it helps my motivation.
