I love working with these little beings. They teach so much, Carin for them, observing the hive, reading the comb, finding the queen. The space needed now that these have replaced the native honeybees by centuries.
Right now , they are all over the , thriving despite the drought. Some folks don’t like these trees, I love them. Dappled shade for my cows, goat food in trying times, medicine, beans, coffee alternative and flour for myself and friends.

I get theres a lot to dislike about them the spikes, the rate of growth, their tendency to show up everywhere. But those detractors are also their saving Grace as they allow healing in the land, albeit it’ll take centuries but in that time they will provide food, medicine, and shade for us all.
So maybe Mesquite trees are trees of Grace, well they are to me at least.
