#214/365 Paintings
When bees are very busy, it can be hard to tell where the flowers end and the bees begin. It’s a feeding festival. The flowers don’t seem to mind. They offer up what they can to keep the bees making. Making is what it’s all about. And they all look so pretty as they do.
Generally, bees are true blue honey workers. But every so often one or two go astray and indulge in the bean for that ‘extra’ buzz. Beans aren’t known for their balanced approach to life. It’s an understatement to say that they get obsessed. Now, the queen bee knows she’s making a fool of them. But she’s too far along in drinking the kool-aide (coffee) herself to do anything constructive for the colony.
We might shake our heads sadly for the bees. But how unhappy could they be? They are buzzed, working hard to bring in the beans and keeping their queen very happy.
