THIMBLEWYCK HONEY THE BEST IN THE WORLD
You know I travel. I travel a bit more than the average bee. It's because I am so curious. Recently I overheard Gerda, Lina's mom, tell Tom, Lina's poppa, that she had got a better price than usual for honey she had sold at the fair in Montrachet. The storekeeper told her that his customers were willing to pay double for honey that they knew came from Thimble farm. He said that he was going to put some with a traveling merchant who goes all over. Maybe even across the border to Chaga, a whole other country. Imagine that. I know that our honey has to be good. We are happy bees around here. Gerda and the fairies do all they can to make sure the flowers are happy. We help pollinate the flowers and that helps everybody, fairies, humans, flowers and bees. Plus honey is more than just sweet. It really does keep people healthy. I wonder what it would be like to travel with that caravan to Chaga. Maybe not. Things around here are in a very good balance. If people over there have to buy honey they may not be treating their plants or flowers just right. Besides that I might miss my friends. I don't just mean my hive. I really do like visiting everybody on Thimble farm, or Thimblewyck, as we call it now. Here every creature can talk to each other. It is a very friendly place. The news of the day is that we also have the best honey in the world.
