Hitokotonushi Shrine in Ibaraki Hosts Summertime Honey Bee Oasis

  Hitokotonushi Shrine is located roughly a 45 min drive from central Tokyo and is easily accessible by car. You can also visit their website for details.

In the height of summer, when temperatures are soaring, safe access to drinking water becomes critical for all animals. And that includes even bees! At the ancient Hitokotonushi Shrine in Japan’s Ibaraki prefecture, which was founded in the year 809, a particular breed of care and kindness is paid to the local bees.

During the summer months, Hitokotonushi Shrine has a tradition of transforming a section of their water basins, intended for human visitors, and dedicating them to our pollinating friends. 


Bees don’t only drink the water but they also use it to regulate the temperature of the hive, feed their young, as well as dilute stored honey. And bees can sometimes drown when searching for water so the shrines has spent a good deal of time and consideration on the design of their bee oasis, which includes moss and several other had surfaces to climb on.

I see a sad, worried face -it's ME! The words going up from the head are the terrifying thoughts which frighten ME ..... Jacki, your collage is so brilliant again!
I had some very happy hours with family. It's wonderful to be together at least for a short time and I'm really grateful for that.
Wishing you a fine Sunday, Jacki.

I was so focused on the negative space that it took me quite awhile to see the face. Well done, Jacki! :-)
