Insects and bees are flying around energetically at Tategamori Ark Ranch, which is full of nature.

Today, a pre-emergence cicada (a brown cicada still covered with cast-off shells that we often see) was slowly but hard climbing the path.

It was my first time to see them, so I doubted if they were from this world!?

I wonder if it's about time to emerge and take a walk around the ranch.

For humans, while some bees are scary, there are gentle bees on the ranch.

The bees in the lavender fields have collected lavender nectar again this year.

The “lavender honey” currently lined up at the farm market was harvested not too long ago!

The lavender honey collection period is limited to about one month, so it is a very valuable honey.

The honey harvested at the ranch includes “lavender honey” and “hundred flower honey”.

It is also used as an ingredient for "Lavender Pound Cake" and "Sweet Mustard" to enhance the taste. 

 One thanks to the bees
