Made up some new frames earlier today.

House smells like the wax foundations, real darn good.

When I was a young teen I raised bees for about 4  years. Now I'm 45 and started again. When I opened the box of frames that were coated with bees wax the smell brought back memories. I hadn't thought about that smell in years but wow was it great.

It is amazing how smells, scents can take you right back to where you were years and years before.  Have a wonderful day, great life.  Cindi

I thought I was the only nutcase who was vicerally effected by the evocative aroma of foundation.  When I was a young teen I spent hours in our basement assembling frames and foundation for our farm's hives. It has been nearly 50 years when I just started again with a few bees and the smell of the foundation reset my clock.  What a wonderful experience.

I like to go sit between my hives and just breathe it in.

The scent of the hive is the most beautiful, clean and pur scent that I can possibly think of.  I love to sit and listen and smell too, Linda.

That is why I keep a jar of propolis on my kitchen counter.  That is my aroma therapy, it takes me to the beautiful and warmth of a lovely summer's day.  Have the beautiful and wonderful life and day.  Cindi
