I usually check the stats on this blog to see where my visitors come from to visit it. I get visitors from all over the world, so it's always interesting to see the countries, states, and cities from which people come. If you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you'll see a map that is updated frequently during a day that shows what parts of the world have sent visitors to my site. I often visit the "referring website" to see if there is an obvious connection to bees.
Today a number of visitors have come from:
http://blogsofnote.blogspot.com/
I clicked on it and discovered that my blog is listed right at the top of the list - no wonder there are so many different visitors today. According to my statcounter at 7:30 EDT, there have been almost 4000 visitors today (compared to a typical day of 350 visits).
Thank you, Blogspot, for noticing my efforts to communicate about my beekeeping challenges!
Great information, love honey and bees.

Congratulations on blog of note! Well deserved I might say. I'm going to follow this blog. Bees and their hive interaction is fascinating. I look forward to reading back into your older posts. Thanks for sharing your talent with us all!
ReplyDeleteHi, and congratulations on being recognized by Blogger. I check their Blogs Of Note occasionally, and most of them are about stuff I don't really care too much about, but I like anything that has to with insects. I don't have the time to do more than skim through your blog tonight, but I'll be back! Please stop by and visit my bug blog when you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteDear brave Linda's Bee,
ReplyDeleteGood day...
You have chosen a right business.
Honey was created by God for human being.
Keep up a good work and congratulation for being chosen as 'blogs of note'

Wow!!! I would have never thought bee keeping could be soo interesting!! Thank you for allowing me to see a different perspective!! A very intersting one at that!!
ReplyDeleteCOngrats on the blog of note!! ;0)
blogs of note picked a good one this time. I clicked it because my family just returned to bee keeping this summer. We harvested 20 pounds of honey. I wrote extensively about it on my blog and have linked your site to mine so that I and others can check in on you frequently. Happy Beekeeping and thanks for educating people on the importance of bees. I would be flattered if you checked out my post labeled busy bees on www.corinswalkinthepark.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteMy best to you and this blog! It looks quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteI will be back soon to read more. Of interest is your take on man's role (obvious) in the bees' collapse.
Wasn't it Einstein who said if the bees go extinct, man will follow in four days?
Time for us to wake up!
Bee is the fabolous animal in the world...
ReplyDeletenice to see u!! :)
I found your blog via "Blogs of Note." I was very happy to do so. I kept bees many many years ago. Now my husband is interested in beekeeping someday. I reckon we're just bee people at heart.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool
ReplyDeletecongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeletecool
ReplyDeleteRaise your hand to those who have not been stung by a bee.
ReplyDelete2 million visits by a bee make only 500 gms of honey ?
A bee-si-ness.
What a lovely site (and way of life).
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating life you lead! I'll very much enjoy revisiting your site.
ReplyDeleteAll the best from Australia,

ReplyDeleteway to go!
ReplyDeletecool!^^
ReplyDeletecongrats on being a blog of note...from our yoga retreat center, Florian Villa Yoga Retreats on the magnificent island of St. John, US Virgin Islands. Namaste!
ReplyDeleteFacinating blog..........I had no idea the work involved in beekeeping. Thank you for a very informative blog.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being "Blog of Note". It's well deserved.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your posts. One thing that really stands out is the close, personal relationship that you have developed with your bees ... like they are family. If everyone had that kind of care and concern for "critters" ... we'd all be better off.
Take care!

Great blog. I've heard that the worldwide population of bees is disappearing so your work is all the more commendable.
ReplyDeleteI have a beehive outside my home and published a post on my blog about it. If you get a minute see http://mohannanjundan.blogspot.com/2008/09/structural-engineering.html
I found you on blogspot and look forward to following you!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I just found your great blog in the Blogs of Note.

Well I am one that found you on blogs of note and was happy to as we are wanting to get into beekeeping!! Looking forward to gleaning all your bee wisdom!!
ReplyDeletemary :)
Congrats, you deserve it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating site! Although I'm not a beekeeper I've always been interested in bees. When I was a kid we had bees move into the wall by our chimney. My dad cut a hole in the wall and put up a glass panel so that we could observe them. It was great! We did finally have a beekeeper friend remove them.
ReplyDeleteYou are 1 of 7 blogs I have tagged. You can read more about it here: http://juanshappywife.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-have-been-tagged.html
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I aspire to have a few hives of my own when I have the land to do it. Right now, I am not sure my landlord would approve ;)
Congratulations on your 'Blog of Note' status from a friend at the beemaster forum! Shoot I wish I looked that good in a veil.

Very interesting blog! I'm Veronica from Mauritius. Can anyone start beekeeping? Should one have a large plot of land to do that?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Ah, bees! Many years ago I made a few extra bucks now and then assembling hives for Mr. Ruhl in Portland, Oregon. He ran a bee supply company. He would have my friend and I assemble hives from rejected components he could not sell.
ReplyDeleteHe said his bees didn't mind.
We would sit for hours in the back of his shop, surrounded by bees that had wandered in from the rooftop hives. Always plenty of honey of every imaginable origin in the break room. We would build frames by the dozens.
Congratulations on being selected for Blogs of Note. Happy blogging! Click on over and visit mine, if you have a mind. I have short stories, philosophy, barbecue, and Everything Else!
Great blog! We hope to start our own bee-keeping operation next year. Thanks for some solid info. Vikki www.thorntonwilliamsfamily.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm another visitor from BON. Very interesting blog and deservedly picked to feature. I've added you to my blogs to follow as I've been researching about the possibility of keeping bees here in the scottish islands.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the "Blogs of Note" inclusion! I've added your blog to blogs I'm following because I think what you're doing is EXCITING and I'm glad you're sharing with the public your experiences! I live in the city and am still trying to figure out how to join the small group of "urban beekeepers" that exist discretely in cities across our nation. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteToo Cool...
ReplyDeleteSo Cool! And have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN
ReplyDeleteA really great site,we keep bees in the UK and at the moment we have 9 hives 1 WBC and 8 national hives these are mostly kept down the farm but it has been a tough year with the bad weather we have had but we have high hopes for 2009 as we we picked up 3 swarms in the late summer.
ReplyDeleteOnce again thanks for a great blog.

I am new to blogging and have been reading some of the "blogs of note". There are a lot that I just don't get. Yours however is one of the most interesting and blog-worthy. I will be visiting regularly because I would like to learn something about bees. I have been concerned with the decline in the bee population. Keep up the good work.
