About the Bees



Bees are very small, yet they have such an importance to us ... Plants grow thanks to the bees, who do the pollination.

Much is said and written about the bees:


If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.
Maurice Maeterlinck


Everything takes time. Bees have to move very fast to stay still. 
David Foster Wallace


One can no more approach people without love than one can approach bees without care. Such is the quality of bees...
Leo Tolstoy


I’m quietly sipping my coffee,
sitting on the deck,
settled in to my little jungle of herbs and buzzing bees,
letting my thoughts wander, soaked in the warmth of the rising sun.
Breathing in and out the soft air 
filling the moment with fluids of peace.

Anna Asche


... With holiday greetings,

Nina

  1. Nina, That bee looks like it's clamped tight to the flower. I was trying to take photos of 2 bees buzzing around my Lupine yesterday. I probably took 20 shots in rapid succession and am not sure I got one good one. They just couldn't keep still for me!

  2. Bees are so important to our life here on earth. My bees have been very hot lately and hanging out on the exterior of the hive.
