"Talk about Tiny" itty bitty bee
You know how small phlox flowers are. This little bee is
barely visible to the naked eye and does't sit still for long.

"Peach of a Bee" photo
a poem......The Little Peach
A little peach in the orchard grew,--
A little peach of emerald hue;
Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew,
It grew.
One day, passing that orchard through,
That little peach dawned on the view
Of Johnny Jones and his sister Sue--
Them two.
Up at that peach a club they threw--
Down from the stem on which it grew
Fell that peach of emerald hue.
Mon Dieu!
John took a bite and Sue a chew,
And then the trouble began to brew,--
Trouble the doctor couldn't subdue.
Too true!
Under the turf where the daisies grew
They planted John and his sister Sue,
And their little souls to the angels flew,--
Boo hoo!
What of that peach of the emerald hue,
Warmed by the sun, and wet by the dew?
Ah, well, its mission on earth is through.
Adieu!
1880.

"Mere Shadow of Her Former Self"
Imagine a world without honey bees. My sister lives in Northern Michigan, not too far from Traverse City .TC is known for its cherries and its National Cherry
Festival held each Spring. http://www.cherryfestival.org/ She told me that this year Spring came about a
month early. Cherry trees blossomed and
all seemed great except....it was too early for the bees. There were no bees to pollinate the
blossoms. Consequently, there were no
cherries. Traverse City had to import cherries for its
festival. Imagine that.To learn more about bees and what life would be like without
them go tohttp://www.haagendazs.us/Learn/HoneyBees/
