This past Saturday, we met up with some friends and visited the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois. The weather was gorgeous, although slightly overcast, which actually made it quite nice for shooting a few midday photographs.
The arboretum was holding a “Honey Bee Weekend”, with all sorts of information on planting honey bee friendly plants, vendors selling locally cultivated honey, and even selling a beer out of Colorado flavored with a hint of honey (yes, it was quite good). And there were honey bees everywhere, buzzing from flower to flower and all around the Morton Arboretum. It was nice to see actual honey bees, as opposed to the paper wasps that are so prevalent in my area. Although my son was a bit too interested in the bees a few times, attempting to grab at them as they visited flowers near the walking paths.
