| Last week, Tetsuo invited me to come and help with his honey harvest! This mainly involved watching the bees (incredibly docile - I didn't even bother putting on my long sleeved top, let alone a net, and never felt threatened. VERY different form the hornets!), taking photos, and eating fresh honeycomb.   |  Photos: Honeycomb (top left); Tetsuo opening the hive box (bottom left); Hive box tied to a tree (above), Tasting fresh honey (below)  |
Wild Japanese honeybees, lured to nest in homemade hive boxes, and left to forage in forests away from the village, make really, really good honey.
