2. Thank you bee. I hope your colony thrives.

And I hope we figure out what is destroying so many of your brothers and sisters.

3. Bees

They work hard all their lives. They care for their home and their children. They take little and give back much in return.

6. just the females...

the males just hang around hoping to be the one to mate with the queen

absolutely fascinating creatures

10. True, but without the drones there would be no children.

The more we learn about them, the more fascinating they become. Remarkable creatures.

5. Half a bee, philosophically,

Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?

7. Yes, forever thanks.

We have a bee guy close by and his honeybees come to feast in my yard. I love seeing them. I didn't like the hornet that was dogging me yesterday, though.
