00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for being a part of the conversation. This

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,480
is Forest Stories. I am the Poet in the Forest,

3
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:08,480
a children's series that I pinned out in the nineteen nineties. Now,

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,640
none of it would be possible if it wasn't for

5
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:13,480
this forest right here in South Charlotte, North Carolina. I

6
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:16,480
talk about it so much that I thought maybe it's

7
00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:19,679
time that you get to know what has inspired me

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,359
for thirty years. Thanks for being a part of the conversation.

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,199
Welcome back to the forest mine. How time flies. It's

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,039
that time of season again. The beekeeper has put up

11
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:38,920
the sign courts of honey, fresh local honey are now

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,359
up for sale. Talking with him this morning and they

13
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:45,960
were very happy to hear that people are interested in

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,719
this honey that they have been selling for over two decades.

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,439
The beekeeper a very peaceful man, always taking walks to

16
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:57,640
see what his little little workers are doing throughout the

17
00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:01,640
entire neighborhood around this beautiful lake and slow moving stream.

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,879
He knows what he's doing because he understands that with nature,

19
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:10,280
we all need these bees and this is his way

20
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:13,760
of giving love back to the community by sharing the

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,439
honey in pints. Courts. Whatever you're looking for. Just add

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,599
the local honey to your mind, body, and soul, because

23
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:26,239
in reality, it's very very good for you. Tis the

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,519
season once again, the honey is ready. Look how long

25
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:33,959
it's taken for all of that to be created. And

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,959
then to take something that a natural living insect has

27
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:43,200
created inside their own mind, body, and soul and then

28
00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:47,319
share it with the community. It's a universal connection that

29
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,560
so many people take advantage of or just totally ignore.

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,439
The beekeeper and all of his honey. He thanks for

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,000
being a part of the conversation.
