Bee Farm [Apiary] Spotted
We have been seeing the beehives somewhere along our way, but it was only yesterday when I had the chance to snap some photos of them. They are not that sharp, though. We took them while the car was running because we couldn't pull over or slow down along the narrow (single lane), uphill road, and other vehicles could come at any moment.
The boxes (some painted, others not, and are in different sizes), were nestled amongst trees, chayote vines, coffee trees and others some 50 meters or so on a hilly area above the road.
When I first glanced at them not so long ago, I thought they were chicken coops, lol! But a closer look revealed I was mistaken. They were boxes built as homes for the bees.
The bee farmer (owner) is clever to have placed (installed) them where a thriving ecosystem already exists. Plenty of crops, flowers, and trees were nearby, which means nectar for the bees, and in return, the buzzing creatures pollinate the plants around.

The farm is like a secret little paradise where bees buzz all day. I think they are more active during the warmer season, so it will be interesting to see how they go about these months where the rains abound.

The sight of them yesterday made me wish we could have the chance to take a peek inside the box in person (we have only seen them in movies). I hoped to meet the owner, and he would allow us to do that. It would be a new experience for us, especially since this bee farm (if I can call it that) was the first we had seen in ages. How fortunate of us, huh!
Anyway, it had been a lovely and fun Friday here in DD. The rain came in the afternoon, but it was sunny in the morning, so we had our fair share of vitamin D. And Mr. P had taken a vacation elsewhere, so we emptied the laundry bag, yay! The weekend is looking great!

Nice bee hive... We have similar in Nepal.....but the only problem with bees is sometimes if the queen bee moves to other place all the bees move with her leaving the hive alone. 🐝
That's good to hear.
The queen can move to another place, and all other bees following her is inevitable. But yes, it can be sad when the hives are left empty.
At first I thought those were house to live. I haven't seen it with my presence and so making mistakes in this case is normal.

It's okay. I also thought they were for roosters/chickens !LOL

Thank you
Near my house there are bees houses like those too! When in the garden there are some flowers they come there... Since we are having less and less bees around the world I like someone keeping them... OK they are not free but better than nothing
It's nice that you have them near you. And yes, it's better to have them housed in boxes like those as they may have a chance of multiplying, than being free, but may slowly go extinct.
Buti Yung bees tumira dyan SA ginawa nila. Yung IBA Kasing bees gusto nlia Yung sila ang Ng build. Choosy din😁
Oo nga sis. Siguro dahil mostly farmlands lahat kaya wala siguro silang place to build kaya don na lang sila tumira hehe
