Protected by bees

The truth is that this is not a good picture. But well... I guess you cannot take good pictures everyday. Especially when you have six hundred kilometers to drive.

So, sometimes you just need to take a bad picture or at least an ordinary picture which represents the mood of your day.

It was taken just before we left Bashkiria National Park. The sign says "The oak tree is protected by bees". And it's not just a funny sign. This national park is one of the few places on earth where there is the old craft of forest beekeeping (when bees live inside of trees) is still in place. We didn't see it because bees are asleep now, but at least we saw the sign.
how interesting - and another reason we need to preserve old growth trees because it takes so long for the important hollows to form :)

Very interest to see that old oak tree that is home to the bees, even if you are not thrilled with the picture
