God’s creatures are amazing…bees have probably been surviving all kinds of fires for hundreds of thousands of years. Thank you God for helping even these little bees.

True. But I was thinking candles were more likely the product than honey.

I’ve never been either. Semi-long story.

Hope to get there eventually.

They do sell the honey, but only to the employees. One of the articles explains that there has been some program in Paris to make sure bees don’t die out there by putting hives on all the famous buildings. Apparently the Opera House also has bees.
 
There are hives I believe in Nee York and DC. I never thought honey bees would do well in an urban setting. They must travel a bit for the pollen and nectar.

Anyway, glad they were spared.
 
Anybody else getting "what’s the buzz, tell me what’s a happenin’’ going through their mind?
