I feel like a ring master around here sometimes... my house is sometimes very much like a circus!<BR/><BR/>Kaber - Thanks! Yes, my cousin also said the bee sound freaked her out. :) I am deathly afraid of bees if they land on me, so I'm not beneath running for my life if they try. :)<BR/><BR/>Redbud - Those flowers look like bluebonnets. You are in the UK? Do you have bluebonnets there too? Are you from TX? Just curious.<BR/><BR/>Heart of Wisdom - You are putting an extra I in my name (which is why it seems so hard to pronounce). Think of the drink SPRITE. SPR+ITTI (like itty-bitty), and BEE. It is a nickname my husband gave me back when we were dating. ;) Pretty with an S in front. Wow. I had no idea you could whistle to a bee. Thanks for the verse tip!<BR/><BR/>:)Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-82924634319261022742007-04-26T11:13:00.000-05:002007-04-26T11:13:00.000-05:00How do you pronounce spirttibee?

I am new to homeschooling and to trying (and I mean trying..lol) blogging. I have enjoyed your site for months now and wow the info is soooo helpful and I love to read what all the other homeschoolers are doing.

The rest of your comment sure looks like an advertisement, however! If you have something interesting you want us to look at, just be up front about it.<BR/><BR/>Sandy & Rachel - :) Thanks! :)<BR/><BR/>Bev - I would have spazzed too - I'm afraid of flying insects for the most part. Someone told me that bumblebees can't sting and you can catch them in your hand. HA! I'll let her go first!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Carrie. :) I love the bee graphics. Anyone can feel free to send them to me via email if you find good ones!<BR/><BR/>Bee sure to set aside a day or two for all those links, Chickadee. :) My mom is "Chickie" to my kids (instead of Grandma). We are always buying little chick things for her. I just got her one of those soft Easter chicks half-off at Starbucks.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Alexandra. :)<BR/><BR/>Bunny Trails: Yes, I love the graphics, too. I actually scanned the bunny and the bee from our Margaret Wise Brown book. I looked and looked online and couldn't find anything... except the newer version of the book with some other illustrator. It is so sad to see these classic children's stories being re-done with new illustrators. I'm all for allowing new books to have new illustrators, but the book publishers should retain the original illustrations for reprints of older stories. Part of the magic of the older stories was the illustrations that went with them. My first intrigue with bees came from Margaret Wise Brown's bumble bee drawn by the talented Garth Williams. :) I want to paint a copy of it on a wall some day.<BR/><BR/>THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SWEET COMMENTS!!!Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-75452448269680562472007-04-24T22:17:00.000-05:002007-04-24T22:17:00.000-05:00Awesome, Heather - you did a fantastic job.

I also have had it help with sinus trouble if you take a tablespoon of honey with a teaspoon of cinnamon. That is also the same recipe for a rub for rashes. It helped my daughter's rash. Of course, you have to sleep in a long sleeved and long-legged nightgown and PEEL it off the next day because it is so sticky... but it is great for your skin. It is almost like an antibiotic.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693756508450137554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-64056178826638653562007-04-24T13:29:00.000-05:002007-04-24T13:29:00.000-05:00Thanks Lynn !!! ;) Great job on your first carniva...Thanks Lynn !!! ;) Great job on your first carnival.<BR/><BR/>Lindsey - Now I need to go read your financial post.

We need more beekeepers here in the US and around the world. One interesting fact about how pollination effects our everyday life. Every 12th bite that goes into your mouth is there by pollination.. Side note about hive loss this year, we started off the fall with 26 hives and ended up with only 2 this spring. Thanks again!
