It was the night before Christmas, when all through the garden not a creature was stirring, not even a fox.
The bees were nestled all snug in their hives, while visions of spring danced in their heads…
A little Christmas story from the bees to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Pure magic, Emma. Thank you.
Thank you, Tish and merry Christmas.
I love the white bees! Great background music as well.
Happy Christmas, may you and your little ones stay snug and warm.
Thank you Erik and wishing you and yours, and your little stripy ones, a Happy Christmas and new year. 🙂
Thank you Emma. I received The Bee Book under t our tree. Lovely pictures and excited to read the text.
Wow, that’s wonderful Erik! I often read Fergus’ section on different types of bees. I hope you enjoy reading for the new year ☺️
Reblogged this on a french garden and commented:
I love this Christmas bee story by Emma.
I hope you have some little ones to enthrall with it.
Thank you, Amelia! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Wishing you both a happy new year ahead also!
Beautiful Emma. Merry Christmas. Jealous of all the snow you had. Too wet and warm in Cornwall for the white bees to visit.
Thank you, Emily. I shall be jealous of you in summer by the sun and sea in Cornwall!
Very sweet story. 🙂
Thank you, Gallivanta, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Have a happy new year!
So lovely! Happy Christmas to you
Happy Christmas to you also, Helen and all the best to your bees for new year!
Wish I’d got to this while we were snowed under with grandchildren and their widespread accoutrements in the last 2 weeks. Might have bought a few moments of peace! All the best for 2018, EM. RH
Happy New Year, RH! I hope you had fun with grandchildren and snow – maybe save the bee story for next year! 🐝❄️
