Bees At The Zoo

Bees have taken over my ivy topiary!
I put it outside for the summer and now it's a hub for
busy bees going in and out all day long.
Reminds me of sitting at an airport watching the
jets coming and going! ha.  


I've made this topiary years and years ago...kind of sad to
let it go, but it's not like I can bring it inside when it gets
cold this fall!  I wonder if the roots are sitting in honey. 
When I water the ivy, I have to dump it and run. haha.

    1. I know...I had to laugh. And the cats just lay on the back porch and watch the comings
      and goings!

  3. Yikes! Yeah, I don't think you would want to bring them in. It would be so cool to gather your own honey, though.

    1. I really know nothing about them....I'm assuming they hibernate? They're going to wish
      they were under ground when it gets -15F here in February! lol....

  4. Wow . . . you even attract the birds and the bees . . lol
    It does look a little like a busy airport . . . did you come back from Utah on one? . . lol
    They look so purposeful on their arrivals and departures and I wonder if when they pass one another they might say, "Hello Honey!" . . . lol
    I had some bumble bees this summer in my bird house.

    1. I certainly do...even foxes! (If you count the family just on the other side of the our fence!) But
      they're red...not silver. ha.

    1. I especially like the tree frogs that have come.
      They are so cute with their rib-it and hum.

  8. Hi Betsy - I'd rather the bees won: we need them ... but I'm sure the ivy has lots of good offerings for them ...

    Fascinating to watch - but here's to you making another topiary! I had an ivy once - he was called 'Percy' .. he moved from London to Northamptonshire with me ... and I'm certain he is still there!! Cheers Hilary

    1. Bees are good! People are talking about them going extinct, but we sure have a lot of them!

  11. Wonder what kind of bees they are. We have bees in our porch roof and can't get anyone to exterminate them as honey bees are protected.
