Multi-tiered wild honey bee hive hanging from the top of a tree in an urban garden
Wild honey bee hive in my aunt's garden. I'm not sure if it's Apis indica or Apis cerana (too big & too many tiers for it to be A. florea, me thinks). Abandoned since the monsoon started but isn't she a beauty? 🌏🐝🌿❣️

A few weeks ago, I planted lettuce, spinach, kale, peas… and tried broccoli (which never showed up). But then—surprise! Volunteer plants started popping up everywhere: squash, cilantro, parsley, even tomatoes 🌱🍅
No idea how they got here, but I love it!

Teeny tiny dahlia just poking up in the middle of a patch of daylilies. Dunno where it came from, I didn’t plant it! #gardening #gardensurprises
I found this luffa in my yard. I must have missed one while I cleaned up in the fall.
So that’s how people figured out we could use the plant as a scrubby.
