Pre-eruption, I was thinking about keeping bees.

[1voyager1]

That changed when suddenly bees began showing up around our fruit trees.
Their showing up was coincidental, and maybe not, to our fruit trees beginning to actually bear fruit.
A neighbor had apparently began keeping some before I could get it together for myself.
The impetus for me to acquire a couple of colonies waned.

Since the eruption all signs of honey bees are now gone.
Not a one to be seen anywhere on our property anymore.

I'm not sure if the person that had them moved them out, or if they were killed off by the SOx gasses.
I may need to begin planning to acquire bees again.
Another possible project once we're back home, if the county doesn't come up with more excuses to keep us out.
