My June vow is to not keep putting off putting these on line. It should be calmer at the apiary. Of course that’s when everything goes haywire, eh?
I decided to post going backwards in time: May 31 to May 1. That seems to be the age in which we live.

At The Northfork (Beer Shrine, not River)
A family celebration, and the best place to do that is at the Northfork Beer Shrine (and wedding chapel – no joke, the owner can officiate at your wedding). This is the best microbrewery I’ve ever found, the food is great, and all the folks are wonderful. If you’re in the Mt. Baker area, it’s worth a visit.

Playing with Colors
I left the leaf in the natural colors, desaturated the background and played with the hues. Rain can do strange things to you.

Working in the Rain
These bees are New World Carniolan X Russian (Primorsky) X Survivor Stock. They are dark bees that will continue to gather pollen and nectar in a light rain – best kinds honeybees for this area.

Another Rainy Day
I look back on these and think, but it is a bit sunnier than that here. It’s just that when it’s sunny, I’m out in the bee yards and only get to walk when it’s getting dark (or shoot in the cabin after dark). With the coming of summer – oh please, soon I hope – there will be more sunny shots. Of course I’m writing this in the library on a rainy day….
Those are the photos for May from me, photographer Karen E. Bean, of Brookfield Farm in Maple Falls, Washington (Walking-Wild.com). I truly hope I can now go back to posting once a week – bees and weather willing.
