Last Saturday after a delicious breakfast with a girlfriend, we strolled around downtown and found this lovely Magnolia tree. Then we heard the buzzing, and as we stepped a few inches closer, look what we found! I had to try to get some photos of these wonderful insects…

And here are some great honey bee quotes:
“Words are like bees – some create honey and others leave a sting.” Unknown
“The lovely flowers embarrass me, They make me regret I am not a bee.”
Emily Dickinson
“Handle a book as a bee does a flower, extract its sweetness but do not damage it.” John Muir
“It is not how busy you are, but why you are busy – the bee is praised, the mosquito is swatted.” Unknown
“Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don’t they should,
for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.” Ray Bradbury
I hope you enjoyed this nugget of nature at its finest and I wish you a lovely weekend ahead.
