We are back from our trip to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. Great time- the Grand Canyon is incredible. I love being out west! On our trip we went to Las Vegas, Sedona Arizona, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon and a few places in between. The hotels we stayed in ranged from rather dumpy (Excaliber in Vegas but why we were even at the Excaliber is a story in itself) to as they say in Vegas ...the "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" suite at the Flamingo Hilton. We received an upgrade to our stay at the Flamingo since they didnt have two adjoining rooms as we requested. The suite we received was on the 27th floor overlooking the stip and was as big as the first house Karen and I owned.
Enough about our trip and on the the bees. Beekeeping is alive and well in the dessert. After many miles of highway signs (simliar to South of the Border signs) promising cold drinks, fresh jerky and local honey we stopped at the honey shack near the Arizona Nevada border. They had a variety of honey which was neat to see. Buckwheat honey i svery dark, desert wildflower was very light, clover honey was medium. In addition to this shack, we saw several places selling local honey.
The pictures are from the atrium at the Bellagio Hotel.
I will check the bees on Friday and give everyone an update on the Porter bees.
