Bee Cause

Today might be the last day we have these litte Honey creatures fluttering around in our garden as the long awaited Bee-Keeper will come and set up a temporary hive to attract the bee's before he can swoop them off to a new Honey Farm! They are busy little creatures, and if you get close enough you hear their buzzing as they work. Some interesting facts that I myself learned today . . . Did you know: *Honey bees communicate with one another by dancing. More on their awesome sense of time, communication of distance and direction in "The Awesome Honeybee Dance" ~ I thought as much!!! *It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee's flight around the world. No wonder they are always so busy! *The honey bee has been around for millions of years and is the only insect that produces food eaten by man. *A colony of bees consists of 20,000-60,000 honeybees and one queen. Worker honey bees are female, live for about 6 weeks and do all the work. ~ Aint that a fact but our hubby's can be glad we live longer than that!! It came to mind that the friends on myLot are almost like the Honey bees . . . A hive of bees will fly 90,000 miles, the equivalent of three orbits around the earth to collect 1 kg of honey - So a Hive of myLotters do pretty much the same for a different sweet kind of reward! How has your day been so far - busy as a bee yet? my photo is of the birds nest that the Bee's have invaded and made their hive.
