QUEEN BEE

THE HIVE est. 1982

WELCOME TO OUR HIVE

THE PROPER TERM FORSENIOR’ WOMEN SHOULD BEE: QUEEN-AGERS.

HOME, THE BEST PLACE TO HIVE … THE BEST PLACE TO BEE.

HOME IS WHERE MY HONEY IS.

I’VE GOT MY MIND ON MY HONEY AND MY HONEY ON MY MIND.

KIND WORDS ARE LIKE HONEY, SWEET TO THE SOUL AND HEALTHY FOR THE BODY.

IF I WAS A FLOWER GROWING WILD AND FREE, I WOULD WANT YOU TO BE MY HUNNY BEE.

BEE POSITIVE, BEE OPTIMISTIC, BEE ENTHUSIASTIC, BEE CHEERFUL AND BEE GRATEFUL AND BEE BLESSED.

WHAT IS SMARTER THAN A TALKING BIRD? A SPELLING BEE

WHAT DO BEE’S SAY WHEN THEY RETURN TO THE HIVE? HONEY I’M HOME

BEE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD

PLEASANT WORDS ARE LIKE A HONEY COMB, SWEET TO THE SOUL AND HEALTHY TO THE BONES. PROVERBS 16:24

UNIQUE AMONG ALL GOD’S CREATURES, ONLY THE HONEYBEE IMPROVES THE ENVIRONMENT AND PREYS NOT ON ANY OTHER SPECIES.

BEE-HIND EVERY WOMAN THERE’S A BEE-YOU-TIFUL QUEEN

HIVE RULES: BEE KIND, BEE HONEST, BEE RESPECTFUL, BEE POSITIVE, BEE GRATEFUL, BEE’LEVE IN YOURSELF. DON’T WORRY BEE HAPPY

EVEN BUSY BEES STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES.

HERE’S THE BUZZ, I’LL BEE THERE, JUST BEE-CAUSE, BEE-HAPPY, NECTAR

SUGAR PIE, HONEY BUNCH

BEE MY HONEY

LOVE IS BUZZING, HONEY I LOVE YOU!

ADVICE FROM A HONEY BEE … CREATE A BUZZ, SIP LIFE’S SWEET MOMENTS, MIND YOUR OWN BEESWAX, WORK TOGETHER, ALWAYS FIND YOUR WAY HOME, BEE YOURSELF.

BEE HUMBLE, BEE KIND, BEE LOVING, ALL THE THYME.

SPREAD KINDNESS LIKE A HONEY BEE AND WATCH THE WORLD BLOOM.

CAUTION: HONEY BEES ON THE PREMISES

“I’m sorry,” said the humble bee, “the noise is just my bumble, and natural, you see, and if I didn’t buss so, I’m sure you will agree, I’d only be a big fly, and not a Bumble-Bee.”

AERODYNAMICALLY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE BUMBLEBEE TO FLY. THE BODY IS TOO BIG FOR THE SMALL SIZE OF THE WINGS, BUT APPARENTLY, NO ONE TOLD THE BUMBLEBEE THAT. SO HE FLIES. THAT’S PRETTY MUCH THE STORY OF SETTING GOALS. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THAT IT IS.

IF THE BEE DISAPPEARS FROM THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH, MAN WOULD HAVE NO MORE THAN FOUR YEARS TO LIVE.

HONEY IS THE ONLY FOOD THAT WILL NOT ROT. A JAR OF HONEY MAY REMAIN EDIBLE FOR OVER 3000 YEARS.

THE BEE IS THE ONLY INSECT THAT PRODUCES FOOD EATEN BY MAN.

16 OUNCES OF HONEY REQUIRES 1152 BEES TO TRAVEL 112,000 MILES AND VISIT 4.5 MILLION FLOWERS.

Adding a little local honey (produced within 50 miles) to your kid’s (only babies over 15 months old because it can cause infant botulism) diets may help prevent some allergies. The bees have been collecting pollen from plants in your specific area, the same pollen that is the culprit behind many allergies. Tiny doses of this pollen have the same effect as allergy shots, helping the body build immunity against pollen. (NOTE: filtered honey has had the pollen removed, so do not expect the same benefits).

BEE-HIND YOU, ALL YOUR MEMORIES

BEE-FORE YOU, ALL YOUR DREAMS

AROUND YOU, ALL WHO LOVE YOU

WITHIN YOU, ALL YOU NEED

THE ICONIC HONEY BEAR BOTTLE (1957 – DUTCH GOLD HONEY), GOT A NAME ON ITS 50TH BIRTHDAY, NUGGET. THE INSPIRATION FOR THE BOTTLE CAME FROM POPULAR CARTOON CHARACTERS, YOGI BEAR, SMOKEY BEAR AND WINNIE THE POOH. DURING THE 50’S AND 60’S, THE OWNER’S DAUGHTERS HAND-PAINTED THE EYES AND MOUTH ON EACH BOTTLE.

YOU ARE SWEET LIKE HONEY, SO GLAD YOU COULD BEE HERE, THANKS FOR BUZZING BY.

The bee on the runner just pops. Your kitchen is a perfect backdrop for the bright yellows. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT ALL.

    This Bee one of the cutest Kitchen projects yet, Janice has always been around 🐝 a lot of her life. Her Dad had them, she helped with the extracting of the honey. It’s amazing how much work goes into 16 oz. of honey. Love you my Sweeeet Daughter.
