Bees and The Due Return Show!

Bronze Age Bee Goddess

Just took my first beekeeping class. Wonderful! We wore veils but no gloves. I had to pick up the Queen's cage from a table that had bees totally covering it. I moved VERY slowly and the bees gently parted to let me pick it up. Nothing happened and I faced my fear about being stung big-time!

Then I saw a great movie, Queen of the Sun, about the predicament of bees. Scientist and beekeepers from all over the world sharing information. Pretty alarming information and yet somehow the film was very uplifting and inspiring. And so beautiful!! I'm totally committed to having bees on my Paradise Farm next summer.
Coming soon - 10 day old baby chicks (May 13)!!

That's also the date of my son (Keith Yohai) with Meow Wolf's opening at the Center for Contemporary Art, www.theduereturn.com. An amazing show of a 2500 sq. ft. ship that has been traveling through time and space for 2 centuries and has now landed on an alien landscape! There's a ton of buzz about this show, including 2 national art magazine articles. Can't wait!!
