Kevin & I visited an in-town farm in Portland and the owner of the very small property was using intensive farm methods - oodles of fruit, veggies and bees and of course, a sweet little honey stand. Had we not been taking a flight the next day, I would have loved to have sampled some of that honey.Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-4511063192437815292010-04-26T05:49:36.519-07:002010-04-26T05:49:36.519-07:00Fascinating and wonderful!Fascinating and wonderful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805682623764800983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-21516377756978461752010-04-26T05:22:30.966-07:002010-04-26T05:22:30.966-07:00Fantastic posts...I never knew the combs could be ...Fantastic posts...I never knew the combs could be so white!
