I love watching...Bees are magical, aren't they? I love watching drones ..well, drone. Maybe the bee you found was the Queen, hence the moving? The Queens are very large. <br><br>When we lived in NY we used to call my mom the Bee Whisperer. She would sit outside and bees would just fly to her and land on her, not stinging. They would sit on her arm or hand while she petted their backs. When they had enough, they would fly away. <br>My family took to calling me the Dragonfly Whisperer a few summers ago when two dragonflies began following me around and landing on my clothes for long periods of time. They even stayed on my clothes when I went inside to get a drink. Everytime I went outside they would ride on my back or shoulders. <br>We still can't explain the bees or the dragonflies.String Beanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13027465748517161776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-12378750718582629412006-04-17T15:13:00.000-07:002006-04-17T15:13:00.000-07:00Wow.

Aren't bees just surreal?<br><br>It's so refreshing to live vicariously through someone with access to bees and a garden while I'm spending spring in a hotel room of a litter-infested city. Oh, to be stuck in a storm of bees! Good on you for having your camera!jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12803888069697853036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-36114296667278522662006-04-15T05:23:00.000-07:002006-04-15T05:23:00.000-07:00"That sound means something.

Knit Forest, Knit! <br><br>You are brave with the bees, I'd have run a mile. When you have bees in your garden (intentional or not!) you should tell them all you news. Keep them informed of what's going on.
