Whoopsie poopsie! While harvesting honey this morning, I realized that about 5 of my hives have unnamed queens! Mostly because the name tags from last year have faded and I can’t read them, but there are a few new leading ladies this year from spring splits.
So. All the other queens from the past few years are singer songwriter inspired. We have Bonnie, Senora, Pasty, Dolly, etc. I think we should keep on with singing queens.
I’m claiming naming rights for this hive. Queen Rose for Rose Betts, whose song Hot Girl Summer is the foundation for my own hobbit girl summer playlist.
That leaves us 4 other Queens to name! How about y’all drop suggestions? The singer songwriter and your favorite track/single. That way I get music suggestions AND name suggestions. 😉
*Image is Rose’s hive. She’s a short stack right now because I pulled two supers of really lovely light and twangy honey. I’m spinning that now and will give her and her girls back the empty comb first thing tomorrow so they can refill it for their own uses. ❤️
