Description
Florida has about 2600 registered beekeepers, and just about as many unregistered beekeepers. just recently the laws have changed about where a person can keep a bee hive. Growing up in Florida, we could often see beehives lined along the orange groves, and the sweetest smell ever was Spring time, when the orange trees blossomed and the bees were everywhere, too busy going about the making of honey to worry about stinging anybody. This was an original painting that I was basically talked through by one of the great Florida beekeeping experts Mr Laurence Cutts. He talked, I painted, he talked i painted, till finally he bought the original. After all, who wouldn't love to keep bees?, they pollinate our gardens that grow all the good stuff we like to eat, and they make us look like we know what we're doing when our gardens bloom. I personally am very thankful to the bees whenever I have 4-6 fresh home made biscuits with a little butter and a whole lot of honey to pour over them.
