Bees

Thanks to Ed for reminding me that I love honey.  Thanks to bees for making it and for letting us steal it from them under the auspices of rain clouds and #weknowbetter.  I have loved honey since I first tasted its botulistisic strains in my youth.  From clover to sweet clover to wild flower, alfalfa, buckwheat, linden and manuka, I love honey.  Freeze it for me in taste sized globules sized for a or put it in a science project for kids:

Thank you for it’s special antiseptic powers against bacterial stapholococcus and the delicious dirty bits full of bee parts that may prevent us developing pollen allergies.

Thank you also, bees, for pollinating stuff.  Without you guys…well, we probably wouldn’t still be alive.  Sorry if we’re messing with your dancing by talking on our cell phones.  We didn’t mean for that to happen, if that’s what is going on.  I, for one, will try avoiding using mine anywhere near you in the future.  Sorry also for the pollution and the flower culling, and the fires and the accidental smushing (I managed to get two of you in my youth due to my ignorance and inattentiveness while running through the clover).

And thanks to people like Ed, and beekeepers, and urban garden bee home advocates, who offer them safe haven to which to flee fires, bug spray, and pollution.
