We're expecting a full house this weekend so I've been cleaning, scrubbing, washing, and mopping all morning long. After a few hours of glimpsing the black spot on the laneway my curiosity got the better of me and I strolled down to investigate.
Thank the gods, it's a hive! Must have fallen out of that old maple tree. No bees or wasps flying about(though the mosquitos are out in full force). I was just thinking about hives last night and so I carefully gather it up and take it back to the house so I can dry it out and have my way with it.
What a beautiful thing.
Thank goodness it wasn't a cat! And that there were no bees around the hive!
ReplyDeleteI second the "thank goodness it wasn't a cat". What a wonderful find! My dad found one when I was little... I thought it was so cool. Wish I could have kept it, but I don't think it would have survived all the moving... lol... Have fun with it! I can't wait to see what you do! ^-^
