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.

Procrastination Defeated




I managed to get my honey sold to Mission Pie yesterday despite trying every known self-sabotaging procrastination trick in the book. Biking it down there was not so bad, it was not as hot as I thought, it was a beautiful day for a bike ride. I had the two boxes of honey jars wrapped in a bag and then bungeed to within an inch of its life to my bike rack and then I tried not to hit any bumps as I swooped down 20th street hill at 100 miles per hour. I sat in Mission Pie and made little tags for the jars since I could not find any suitable stickers on such short notice. They are handwritten with too much info for a hand written tag. I got 80 bucks in pie credit and I am so happy to magically change extra honey into pie made from locally grown wheat, fruit and eggs...on a farm where my friend works! I love this town. And now I am started in the honey business!
