| Kaua'i, Hawaii - "Where the honey grows on trees" |
Wild or Farmed? Feral or Managed?
So far my research has solely been centred on farmed bees, but this suddenly feels like a contradiction of my passion for all things natural.
The aesthetic differences between the two bee hives are astounding. Beehives as I, and most of us know them to be are regimented stacks of perfectly formed honeycombs, each cell bulging with honey, a conveyor belt process of honey production.
The wild hives however are not contained in neat boxes, they are nestled inside protective hollow trees or the entrance to caves. The honeycomb, although it seems always formed vertically, has a natural curvature, a soft fluidity, heavy with the weight of the golden honey.
