I used to be terrified of bees mainly because I’m allergic — which is certainly a plausible rationale for fear, but I have so many bees here at Casa de Enchanted Seashells–they love rosemary and lavender and other herbs, that I’ve decided to quell my anxiety and bee friendly.
Bees are incredibly valuable to sustaining life on Earth; they deserve our love and protection, along with a healthy respect for their ability to cause pain. Angel Boy 2.0 and I spend quite a bit of time researching bees.
This little guy took a rest on the deck from his hard work saving Planet Earth and was perfectly amenable to pose for a series of photos and then he buzzed away. More flowers, more pollen, more honey!

Wonderful photos! I have bees who live under my house. I am always happy to see them emerge when the dandelions bloom. ❤

Bee friends are great BUT I’d be kind of scared if they decided to build a hive in my walls or like one year when the scouting bees thought my chimney looked like a great home (but they changed their minds).

Yes, I would not like them to swarm into my actual house. “my” bees have lived here longer than I have. They probably thought maybe I’d be an intruder but I keep pollinators for them so all is well.

If only everyone could take your lead and learn to coexist with the other creatures on this planet!
