What's The 'BUZZ'...Tell Me What's A-Happenin'...

     Mustered-up a bit 'o energy to accomplish a teeny touch of yard-work...WOW...it sure needs it! While out of doors, I discovered a 'Dandelion', hunkerin'-in, close to the house, and, a bunch of lil'-purple flowers, that, come in, every year; although, as yet, I'm STILL, not, sure what they are, aside from pretty! I prepared a bed for some seeds, which, I refuse to 'scatter...not takin' any chances. Heck...we, JUST, had snow, AGAIN, last-week...remember? Almost, the, entirety of time, that, I was outside, there was a BIG-Bee, buzzin' all around my head; guess, it was as curious about me as I was it. We seemed to 'hit it off', OK. I've learned, over the years, that, typically, if you leave THEM alone, they'll 'offer' the, same, respect to YOU. However, I have been stung, once or twice with no provocation on my part. So...perhaps, it, too, depends on the 'mood' of the, particular, Bee. I'm guessin', this, guy was enjoying this beautiful-day, too- much, to be in a 'snit'. Same here! Here's hoping, that, this will be the sentiment of him and his 'hive-mates' for the duration of the Season. Ya' never know what might set-off. these, lil' fickle-fliers. To BEE-stung, or, NOT, To BEE-stung...that, IS the question! Just Sayin'...
