Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

Cool Little Town Of Bisbee

In Southern Arizona near the Mexico border. We arrived mid-afternoon and after having a late lunch, walked through one side of the street in downtown. It got late and a lot of the shops were closed so we took off to get closer to the next days adventure.
 
The coolest shop we came across was the Killer Bee Guy (I found out later they have a store in Tombstone also). They make honey from Killer Bee hives. Their main business is eradicating the invasive Killer Bee (Africanized honeybees from Brazil), which we learned are creating a big problem in Southern Arizona and threatening the native Honey Bees. 
 
When/where possible, they harvest the hives and make a DELICIOUS dark, rich honey. 
 
Killer Bee Guy's website where you can order on-line...
 
They also have a YouTube channel...
