The Hawaiian guy must have brought the good weather—finally we’re into summer. In Port Townsend, when shorts and a t-shirt are comfortable, you know it’s warm—in fact our little household weather station registered 81 degrees F the other day. I’m no Joe Cupo, but that’s hot, especially for Port Townsend.
Besides being thrilled that it’s been comfortable to be in summer duds, I’m also thrilled that the nice sunny daytime weather has brought the bees to our lavender (which is finally fully abloom) in droves! Tons of bees. Bees of several species, drinking themselves silly in some sort of Bacchanalian celebration of the nectar. I’m jealous.
Every year I look forward to this annual event. Bees are industrious. For this reason they are super difficult to photograph. But I tried and here’s my tribute to these stunning creatures, going about their business, and doing their part to turn the sweet lavender nectar into delicious honey.
