Linda and I left Lancaster,Ohio and drove just a few miles to Lithopolis,Ohio to celebrate National Honey Month,meet old friends and make new ones. The grounds of the Wagnalls Memorial Library made a BeesPerfect setting for the event. For more on the library and Lithopolis check out my earlier post.
The way Arnold Crabtree (The Bee Man) of the area sees it, “One thing I know from working with bees is that all life can’t be created with just a boom. There’s more to it than that. No one can spend time in a hive and not see the power of God and His presence.” Of course info on bees and music from Dave Hawkins (Dave is an Americana artist with his Irish roots showing.) and Luxury Brown to name a few.
Has your dog bee trained? If not::::
For the very first time on this blog I’m going to mention FOOD. LOL
The applesauce is cooking as I write this post
MY FAVORITE::: POPCORN DONE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY FROM Hot Pot Creations Kettle Corn ( The Clarks from Columbus) (a touch of sugar does the trick)

I recently had some honeybees move into the upper half of my squirrel condo. I didn't want them there because the squirrels were moving out and because I didn't want 80 pounds of honey hanging onto supports that weren't meant for that much weight. So, I harassed the hive with sticks and a garden hose once a day for two days, but, what with it being late in the year, I was afraid they wouldn't survive if they moved, so I stopped. Two days later, they swarmed. This was just last week. I sure do feel badly about it.
Looks like you had a great time at the Honey Festival. I cannot believe that man with the bees all over him... Yow!!!!!! Sounds like you got some good apples. Did you try that special popcorn???? AND---did you go home with lots of HONEY????
Thanks for sharing the festival with us.

I enjoyed your photo collages of sights you saw while at the Honey Festival. I don't believe I've ever heard of such a festival. Were there any loose honeybees flying about? I hope no one got stung! I hope you came home with some honey. The festival looks like a good place to pick up some honey.
Already had lots of honey so came home with the LARGE bag of popcorn LOL
Thanks for sharing your great day with us Joe. this really looks like a fun festival.
What a multi-layered good time!
The picture of the old house really grabbed me . . . look at those WINDOWS!
The buzzing bee beard guy must have been quite a sight!

What a lovely post with many interesting images. Love the buzz beard and the last picture with the sunset is awesome.
What a fascinating festival. I've read so much lately about bee populations dropping and the problem of colony collapse, I was glad to read good things about bees.

Thanks for giving us a taste of what Honeyfest was all about, Joe!
The buzzing bee beard guy is the coolest!
Love the photo of fruit and vegetables: they look so appealing...
That looks like a fun festival. Although the idea of having bees crawling all over me makes me shudder.
I love visiting events like this, you always learn so much and there's alot to see and do.
That looks like a great festival!
This festival sounds interesting.
I think you'd enjoy 'The Bee song' by Arthur Askey - google it :)
I hadn't heard of the Honeyfest before, but it looks as if it would be a wonderful festival to attend.
I'm assuming that the bee population in your part of the country is pretty healthy.
You captured a gorgeous sunset.
