Wheelbarrow Bees

"This is a novel way of moving your hives around :)"

Cally Brown spotted this on Hazelwood Ave Beekepers' facebook page


When I save a photo for this blog, I preface it wheelB____ and then name it. This one got to be "wheelBees." Fun.

Avebury, UK, 1930's, assortment

In the 1930's, a wealthy man named Alexander Keiller was doing archeological work in and near Avebury, UK. They used these three wheelbarrows (along with other and odder equipment). I took the photo from an image in the museum in Avebury.

Looks like there's a wooden wheel (probably iron clad), a rubber wheel, and a continuous track / tank tread on two wheels.

Quietly in California

Aren't wheelbarrows just beautiful sometimes?

This one is in Los Alamitos, California.
That is Lillyanne Dedeaux and Cyrus Sorooshian, her grandfather, in his back yard.


I think Roya Dedeaux, their connection, took the photo.

Laurie McPherson sent that to me in 2015, but I was out of town and didn't get it into the blog then.

Retired flamingo and wheelbarrow

In New Zealand, a pink flamingo hides its head beneath a wall-mounted wheelbarrow.

Thanks, Cally Brown for the photo, and Jo Isaac for connecting me with it.
