Thoughts on bees...

This week was crazy long. but today I just want to tell you about some bees

I don't like bees. They are loud and they sting and we eat their vomit.... Nasty. They are just not my favorite bug at all. 

Someone in our ward is a beekeeper. He was showing all the 8-11 year old girls how the honey was made, and we were invited (because inwardly, we are 8 years old). He showed us the bee boxes, and explained how they worked. A couple things I learned:

All the bees you see are female. The male bees rarely leave the hive

Male bees don't have stingers.

They have about a 5 mile radius

Every batch of honey tastes a little different, depending on the flowers they visited

And many other random facts.

And you know what? The more I learned about those bees, the less I hated them. At the end, a bee just about flew into my face, but I hardly flinched. They were just happy, little innocent insects minding their own business, working their little butts off and making that honey for us to enjoy.

Moral of the story? You tell me. I'm gonna invite you to think about that.

Have a good week!
