Hungry bees on the coffee farm

The rains are coming down hard, very hard at times.  There are fewer native trees in bloom and the bees are hungry.

Yesterday, they came to eat our breakfast.   Almost every day we eat porridge with honey for breakfast and recently have been adding cinnamon spice.   

Hundreds of my honey bees came to investigate. They fed on every sticky drop of honey left on the table and were crazy about eating the cinnamon powder.   Bees love cinnamon.  Maybe for the same reason that it protects them against fungal problems in the hives.
