In the same place...
  • I was May 4th, Saturday. It wasn't a particularly warm atmosphere, but it was at least cold. Suddenly, a big hum, not heard long ago. Here's a lot of bees on the door of the house, thousands of bees flying, on a sleek synchronized flight, in a dunbot. Erlesemea.

The nephews of Matteo and Amaiur have a beehive or beekeeper that is not in our homes but is not far away. The erleseme was coming out of some of his ulcers. The bee or the bee village or the bee mulch or the bee tobacco is in force in the fly or cholera or in the nest of bees and in the best of spring it is left in the legs and teeth of a new bee or young bee and is prepared to leave the “old” bee until then, the bees of thousands of people are taken and another place is colonized. “Erlama” and “erlaita” are both called “queen” in the surrounding cultures. That's why I say "erlesemea"? Son of father or mother. The bee is also called “erlegida”, as one day the beekeeping people will have to drive and then the relative.

In the impressive Ahotsak.eus, Miel Arrieta Bideburu, from the Caserío Legarralde, in the Goiburu district of Urnieta, explains very well: in the Caserío you have the stewardship and the rest of the sister brothers have to flee. For bees also, but in bees there is not the oldest, but the young, the old woman takes the path of the fly hole and flees with thousands of followers.

We have many ways to say the erleseme: at least children of bee, son-in-law, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee. An indicator of the importance that the bee has played in our country, which has revolutionized the month of May of many people. Bees once belonged to the house, they lived in the house, the bee that was under the house and the flies were produced in the loft, on the walls, etc. The bee was the indispensable livestock in the economy of the Atlantic side, the most important: without it there is no cider; along with the mountain the greatest and most numerous agricultural benefit. It is known: in the event of the death of a relative, bees are warned, as they need wax for funerals. You will also need bacon to match your relatives, but do not go to the pig. The bee, and only her, was called a “mourning suit.”

The fact that a bee doesn't stay home is a huge loss. Beekeeper or beekeeper is in the good days of May. In our case, a last year's erleseme rolled into the bee stables and was left in a false acacia. In these cases, the beekeeper uses a tapered straw pot or a wooden bee cap to collect the female and place it in a new fly. In this case, the aforementioned Miel Arrieta Bideburu also says that we have to talk to the bee, approaching the boat or the collection cover and saying: “Bertan, bertan…”. For his part, Mariterexa de Juanete de Saldias says that with the gravel he was told “down Mary, down Mary…”. In two words.

This year Matthew and Amaiur have not had work, they have come home. On the wall of the house calendar, in the relax of the roof there is a place that had formerly been a wild cornice and which they also liked, have found a fly, have tracked and thousands of bees inside. Where I write, on the wall, music and the show go forward and backwards non-stop.

The flowering plants in the area will also be at ease, you've already realized that there are a lot of bees that have taken a lot of work to form a new fly. Bejondela!
