#honeybee
Found a little bit of magic in our hives this morning. The birth of a honey bee.

So. I’m a beekeeper. Here are pictures. I take many.
Also, sorry about the dumb watermark. I don’t mind people using my things. I just don’t like people making profit off it.
Not that anyone would steal my bee pictures. But whatevs.
Yay … the bees have arrived. Absolutely delighted to welcome these little guys … really hope they love their new home.
Pure, natural honey straight out of the comb~
Honeybee-themed castle room!!

Bee and honeycomb pins now available in the shop! The honey is actually transparent resin over a cutout, so it gives a pretty, stained glass effect! We’re as busy as bees packing for Otakon this week—our first con in a year and a half! Who will we see there? #bee #honeybee #honeybees #honey #honeycomb #enamelpin #pingamestrong #pincollector #cloverpuff #cloverpuffart

Honeybees are in trouble. Here’s how you can help
The die-off of America’s honeybee colonies, which are disappearing in droves because of parasites, pesticides, poor nutrition and disease, leave beekeepers scrambling to salvage the vital insects.
The task of solving the honeybee problem, experts say, isn’t isolated to beekeepers. A few changes to home patios and gardens can lend honeybees a much-needed assist.
Last year, a third of the nation’s honeybee colonies died, which is low considering the bigger decreases of the last decade. This doesn’t necessarily mean fewer bees. Beekeepers can salvage a dead colony, but it comes with labor and production costs.

What is Cappuccicons?
Cappuccicons is a merge of my previous two fonts, Honeybee and SaturnIcons. It came to replace these fonts with new and upgraded icons, and it has most icons from both fonts (except repeated ones, of course).
Using Honeybee or Saturnicons? Both fonts will remain working, though the icons lists will be gone. You can use Cappuccicons’ list for reference, as most icon names have remained the same.
Download and Install
All instructions are available on the page.
Available for graphic design!
You can now download all 1078 icons in PNG and SVG formats.
Download links are available on the page.
Font information
Release date: March 30, 2021
Icon count: 1078
Designed on: Adobe Illustrator
Hosted on: GitHub
Available as: Web icon font, PNG, SVG
I’ll be releasing a merged and upgraded version of my two fonts, SaturnIcons and Honeybee.
Since there have been issues in the past due to regular icon additions, I thought that it’s best to add new icons before the font is released than risking to break it after it’s being used.
So, if you’d like to request new icons, please reply to this post with the ones you’d like me to add, send me an email with your suggestions or join my Support Serverinstead.
Thank you!
I forget when we found the first swarm of bees, maybe two weeks ago? Anyway, it was a small swarm and a beekeeper came over and scooped them into a hive. Then, yesterday evening, we found another much larger swarm. They were huddled in a tree near the road. A second beekeeper (brother-in-law of the first) came over right at dusk. He placed the hive under the mass of bees and then gently shook the tree. They plopped into the box, and those who were left out filed neatly and quickly inside after their queen.
At this point, who knows how many bees are still in the wall of the house. And there were three queens? Or maybe the workers made themselves a new queen very quickly after their first swarm got disrupted by cold weather. If we are REALLY lucky, maybe this is all of them, and the wall of the house is beeless, now.
Anyhoo, I very, very much wanted to walk over and gently put my hand in among the bees. I didn’t, but I wanted to.

fun fact: the honeybee video almost has 3 million views and 40,000 likes
My bees swarmed today. That means they’re doing well enough to split! Half took off and the other half will stay with me.

Reference can be found from daily mail here.
I was given some less than great paper that my ink bleeds into a lot, but I sort of like the spidery lines it created and the challenge was welcome. A good excuse to test the new watercolours I bought…and since I’ve never really used them…I think it turned out alright. c:

Very little time left to pledge towards my enamel pin kickstarter! A final secret design has been unlocked as well as a free taiyaki frog sticker for each backer, a free Frogsicle keychain for backers of two or more pins, and a free pin of Tobias the mossy toad for backers of eight or more pins.
These pins will be available in the future, but the freebies can only be obtained during the kickstarter (they’ll be sold, but not free along with pin purchases).
