A golden humming cloud of honeybees arrived unexpectedly one sunny June morning and moved into a knothole in the siding of the house. Three weeks later, Mr. E. helped these mysterious creatures into a comfy wooden box in his garden and began to live the lifelong dream of herding millions of stinging insects and collecting their sweet honey. Please enjoy the adventures of Mr. E's Mysterious Bees.

Green Gulch Farm Beehive

You'll find this hive if you drive on Highway One near Muir Beach just across the Golden Gate Bridge and past the Marin Headlands.  I would love to see it in person sometime.  The brood chamber is permanent and cannot be disturbed.  It looks like the only thing that is managed is the honey super on top. 

"Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, also known as Green Dragon Temple (Soryu-ji), is a Buddhist practice center in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition offering training in Zen meditation and ordinary work. It is one of three centers that make up San Francisco Zen Center, which was founded by Shunryu Suzuki-roshi."
