The cooler days mean sleepy bees. This one makes a vague suggestion of annoyance at the end by half-heartedly lifting one leg at me.

tee hee. She really does seem like she wants to be left alone.

  Yep, bee petting requires a healthy respect of the bee’s boundaries. I stop immediately when they swat at me with their little leg. I usually pet for a few seconds and then move on. 🙂

    But . . . why would one pet a bee?

Sounds weird, but it’s really cathartic. I think it’s borne from a love of flowers and bees and wanting to connect in a more visceral way. It started for my family and I as a way to help my oldest daughter to connect even when she was struggling with her illness.
