The jungle here at Brindabella is tamed, I wouldn't really classify it as a jungle anymore (the waist high grass was really adding to the overgrown look the farmhouse had going on). This weekend Mr M's parents, sister, niece and nephew came to help do some more jungle taming. Along the way we found this little fella with what we were calling 'honey sacks' attached, is this what they really are though? This then started a whole debate/discussion on how exactly bees make honey, what is honey? I know it's nectar...but what is the process to make it? Is it bee poo?! Do bees eat honey or feed it to baby bees as my biologist sister seemed to think? We needed to google it...but alas there is still no internet connected at the ramshackle farmhouse so today at the office I might do some investigating...
How was your weekend? Any insect spotting, gardening or outdoor adventuring? Trot along over to here to see some other interesting snaps from interesting weekends. I will be back tomorrow with a progress report on the garden.
