    Hi Linda
    You know my comment here...;)
    But just for the record, and maybe for others reading this who believe everything they read on the web "DON'T"!!!
    In this list, anywhere you read the word "bee" delete it.
    e.g. "in Danish is bibee" ignore the "bee" or " in french - abeillebee" ignore "bee".

    As always, Linda, you put so much time and energy into this blog! You are really inspiring! Keep it up.
    (Can't wait until you link my blog to yours)

    Hi Warren,
    I've fixed the translations - thanks for the help and you are so right about not depending on the Internet although most of the time it's quite helpful! I've also added your blog to my blog list - it's a great blog. I love your pictures.

    Hi Linda, thought you might like to add the Maori (indiginous language of NZ) word for bee to your list, it is `Pi' with the accent on the `i'.
    We have a number of small native bees but had to import Apis mellifera to pollinate the European settlers` food crops in the late 1800`s.

    If you want, you can add the translation for bee in Tagalog (one of the native languages of the Philippines).

    bee - pukyutan

    I didn't see bees while I was there, but I wasn't looking either (I wasn't yet a beekeeper).

    Kawayanan (Tagalog for grove of bamboo)
