Apiary
These bee apartments are scattered around the fields in the area and we have local vendors who sell the honey. I wrote about one in the post from 16th May.

Who and why
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments. Camera and other information at the foot of the page. 20150322

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

Pretty apiary.
Thanks for my gorgeous postcard! Pride of place on my mantelpiece.
Hello, I present my blog photographs to you on a small city : Martel. in the Quercy (the black perigord in France), the area of the foie gras and the omelette to boletus.
mon blog of photographs on the town of Martel.
I like your photograph and the colors are in pleasant contrast. It is a nice photograph. I also liked your narrative.
We have lost our bees. There was a special about it on television last night but I missed it. Some think their disappaearance is related to cell phone use. Cell phone electronics causes them to lose their navigational abilities and they are not able to find their hives. Without honey bees, we would be dead in 4 years, or so the story goes.

Today—My house and FAQ photo information.
beautiful and idyllic, seems like a great place for vacation!
Nice photo. It's nice to know more about bees.
Do bees come in these little coloured boxes? Here, our hives are very different: small houses put on the ground. Your nice shot makes me want to know more about Swiss bees!
really beautiful bee apartments ! Nice picture !
It's me again ! Did you understand the name of my blog ? If not it is "from oven to garden and my ten fingers".
such a lovely scene! It's postcard-perfect....
I don't get it - where are the bees? In the big house or in those colorful boxes around the house?
According to another report, the bees disappeared after they were sprayed with a new antibiotic (to fight off some new virus).
Wow! I thought it was a real house for humans. Imagine the mistake if one walks in and find millions of bees inside.
Thank you to everyone for your comments on the bee dwelling. I'm curious about them myself, so I'm going to do a little "investigating" and if I have anything interesting, I'll report back to you all.
Claude: I tried to visit your blog again, but at the time I tried, something must have been wrong with Blogger because it kept giving me an error message.
Isabella: I think the bees enter into their hives via the brightly colored openings, and humans access these hives by entering the structure through a normal door. That's my theory right now, but I could be completely mistaken.
Wonderful photo of a very important activity. We need to take good care of those wonder bees--delicious products that they pollinate.
