The Land of Milk and Honey
I am finally settled and, with a lively rye starter bubbling away in the fridge, baking again. Happiness is...
A simple sourdough enriched with 60 grams of butter and 100 grams of raw honey purchased from a farm nearby. I have dedicated it to the lovely little Blue Chequered Cuckoo Bees that love my big rosemary bush even more than I do.

Can I ask where you live? I've never heard of blue bees - really pretty.
I live in south eastern Australia close to a village called Metung. The Cuckoo bees parasitize the nests of the Blue-banded bees who then raise the Cuckoo bees' young. The Blue-banded bees seem to prefer my mint bushes that grow next to the rosemary bush.
Some time simple is the best...great photo of the bread and the bee.
Happy Baking!
