Good to hear your girls are working the hive, and I saw some girls of my own bronging in some pollen the other day -- I hav no idea where they found it. They do amaze me. And tell Elva congrats on her important milestone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313235697892335537.post-47234533000899041652009-11-11T00:08:31.220+00:002009-11-11T00:08:31.220+00:00Yes Cliff, we do have English meanings to Maori wo...Yes Cliff, we do have English meanings to Maori words ! Kia ora means hello, kowhai - yellow and all the other words we use. I try to pronounce Maori properly, it is a lovely language. Alot of our place names are Maori and all have an English meaning, etc Ngaruawahia (silent `g`) means the meeting of the 2 waters, with the small town centred around the merging of the Waikato and Waipa rivers.Hamilton, where I live has a Maori name which is not used alot, it is Kirikiriroa meaning long gravel bank.<br /><br />Congrats to Elva, far to hard for me, I prefer walking at a gentle pace, checking out the gardens as I meander along - hahaNgaiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413136577784656552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313235697892335537.post-18838301686290857762009-11-10T00:40:22.556+00:002009-11-10T00:40:22.556+00:00Congrats Elva on your fine achievement.

In fact you're confirming that your Sunday weather was probably as nice as ours (I worked on my sun tan) and opened my hives too. Soon enough it'll be that white stuff.....Bee Magic Chronicles for Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818365668819339658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313235697892335537.post-47239824343145229492009-11-09T18:36:23.137+00:002009-11-09T18:36:23.137+00:00Isn't it amazing how bees can still find polle...Isn't it amazing how bees can still find pollen when so little is left?! They really are intelligent.

Wondering if your next hive will be Top Bar? I know from reading Ngaio's blog, you're seeming very intersted. <br /><br />Congrats to Elva. You must be proud of her. I found out a long time ago that running can be as addictive as beekeeping. My husband became a runner and didn't slow down until he had completed 3 marathons, one being our famed Boston. I'll stick with beekeeping ;)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613776576584120065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313235697892335537.post-48195803439757597162009-11-09T13:49:10.403+00:002009-11-09T13:49:10.403+00:00Good for Elva!!
