Valdemanco beehives

Valdemanco beehives
These beehives were stolen too often and so the villagers move them to a different location every few years. Here it is not on any path and when I chatted with the bar owner later he was a bit put out that I had found them! (The next time I came this way, maybe a couple of months later, they had been moved once more!).

Well apparently it is! But it's not for me (diabetes). My girlfriend and my sister's family (both in Madrid) enjoyed the jars I bought for them!

I like the glimpse of the distant winding road in the V gap between the boulders. Bee hive thefts, and a general decline in bee population and supplies of 'local honey' are present where I live, also.

Thank you, John.
The village of Valdemanco is just visible also in that gap.
Yes, it's a worldwide problem, which was much discussed a couple of decades ago but I haven't heard more about declining bee populations recently. I think it's still a major worry though.

Zwischen den Felsen sieht man die Straße und den kleinen Ort...was für ein Unterschied und eine nette Geschichte dazu :)

Yes, that's the village of Valdemanco and it's as far as the bus from Madrid goes so it's where I get off, and I walk up almost direct to the top from there! Thank you, Tanja!
