This picture was just included in the 2008 Mann Lake Ltd catalog on page 104.  :-D

I saw that sign in the catalog as well and considered purchasing it. I would like to have a way to keep people alert around the hives.

Those flowers are extraordinary. Is that your property??? If yes, then how lucky to get into a magazine.

Yes, those are flowers in our garden. You can see more pictures of our flower gardens here:
My Flickr Flower Set (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dbroberg/sets/72157594554926069/)

All but two of these photos were taken in our gardens. There is one taken up in the mountains at about 13,000 feet and the other one shows a nearby field of sunflowers. The rest are all here in our yard for our bees to enjoy, come summer.

Unreal, you are quite the gardener. I am sure the bees are so happy at your house.

David, what beautiful pictures, so nice to see them, I love the flower pictures.  Your album was superb!!!  The Gaillardia is one for sure that the bees love.  I really liked how you had them in mass plantings as such.  Have you ever noticed any bees on the Black-eyed Susan (Gloriosa Daisy?) ?  I used to have that flower, lots of it, but something happened to them all, it was a weird one and I forgot about them until I saw the picture of yours.  I'll have to propagate them again, they are beautiful.

2-wheeler.  Ya, I know that is a picture that needs more comments, what a beauty!!!!  Looking at it brings me right smack in the middle of those beautiful summer days, that we all know will come sooner or later.  Lovely, what a gorgeous shot.  Wonderful day, wonderful life.  Cindi
