I've been thinking about honey bees.

In the hive, bees flutter their tiny wings creating a venting breeze. The zephyr helps water in the honey evaporate, keeping the honey from fermenting.

Tupelo honey is good, esp. in tea. But fireweed honey, from Alaska is my personal favorite (a pretty flowering tundra plant with bright pink blossoms).

note: Weeds don't look like "weeds" to me anymore, I think: "hmmmmm, I wonder how the honey from that tastes????....probably very good!"

...you know what else I like about bees?

(other than they work and work and work their whole life for a teaspoon of honey - which is REALLY great because they work endlessly, and then they die, but what's amazing is the product of their work is eternal - honey is the only food that never goes bad. ever. the honey from the Egyptian mummy's tombs, still good!...& if we didn't have these little bees working so hard we'd all be dead: so much LIFE depends on this small laboring creature!!! think upon it, the eminence of a bee...)

They dance.

little gypsies reaping flower's fruits, fluttering their wings, and dancing around their golden harvest

...those weeds: the golden harvest within
