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

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
