Bees?
Yes, this post is about bees.
While at the fair yesterday, I passed a local bee farmer’s booth and stopped to look. He had a honeycomb behind glass with bees working in it, and while people were gathered around he started doing his educational/sales pitch. At one point, he held up a little tube of honey and explained that during its life, that was how much honey a single bee would make. I’d be surprised if the amount he held up was enough to fill a thimble, it certainly was less than what I put in my tea.
It made me think. Several bees toil their entire life to create the amount of honey I put on a single biscuit. It’s kind of sad really.
