@artist01 Thank you, Laurie. I was so excited to see honey bees! Honesty, it’s been years for me since I’d see any. We’re so cautious to not use pesticides but unfortunately in the city, neighbors all around us kill off dandelions and other plants in their lawns that bees and butterflies love…and kill the bees too! Here at the lake, it’s all natural and we can sure see the difference. They’re free to bee 🐝 ☺️

@loribmt. HI Lori. I love that - free to bee!! Haha. I love honey bees too but I'm allergic to the little devils. Even so, if one has the audacity to sneak into my apartment's open window (usually at least once a year), I very cautiously capture it with an inverted glass against the window and set it free. I've been stung three times over the years, with the necessary hospital trip, but nowadays I carry an EpiPen. I dread the day when I might have to administer it to myself but so far, so good! P.S. I also love dandelions. I think they're pretty. Still, in city living I had to conform and rid my front lawn of them. Such a shame, for our critical threat of extinction pollen carriers. Good for you, for helping them in the ways that you do. If everyone who could would plant the flora these planet savers need, it would be a huge benefit to their future survival.
