Spring in Qingdao

It has been a long, trying winter, but I can finally -happily- say it's SPRING!  A lovely time in Qingdao (minus the allergens).  The sun is shining, the colds have gone away, and the aircons are crankin' out that cool air.

Bee boxes pop up overnight and stay on the roadsides for a couple weeks while keepers sell their fresh honey
