Here are two fine old tales about a Queen Bee.  The Brothers Grimm tell of a young simple boy, who in his travels, spares the lives of nature’s smaller creatures.  One of his rewards, comes from a winged Queen who helps him undo a magical spell.  Aesop, on the other hand, tells of Jupiter’s punishment of a Queen bee that wished for evil, and was stung by justice.  We are sure these two stories will keep you buzzing.

Stone soupFood is the inspiration of our three beloved folk tales from long ago.  The promise of soup makes the villager’s mouth water in the tale of Stone Soup, dreams of love make a Milk Maid careless with her Pot of Milk, and a Baker and a Money Lender argue over the price of a smell.  Bon Appetite!
