OMFG, BEES!

And many thanks to blogging buddy Mistress Maddie of A Day With The Mistress Borghese for a recent lovely surprise gift! The wee bee plushie is SO cute and the book by Matt Kracht is not only extremely informative but also HILARIOUS! 

Some of the book's GROANALICIOUS puns and wordplay include "you're pollen my leg," "swarm in here or is it just me?" and "sorry to drone on." For those of you traumatized by bees, the author has also created a very handy "Fear-Based Bee Opinion Matrix" (F-BOM) to guide you. And there's even an illustrated chapter of "Great Paintings, If They Had Put Bees In Them."

Bee Happy

Trigger warning

for people who

don't like bees!

Hey, look at this cool photo

of a bee fancier gnome

taken by e of plufrompdx

at a local hardware store!

I think his name should be

Honeycomb Gnome!

Another mystery solved!

I love the legal system!

I know what you mean, man.

Xavier wants answers!

Nice art!

And many thanks to Mistress Maddie

of A Day With The Mistress Borghese 

for this fabulous bee swag!

Such a nice surprise!

Time For More Bees!

I haven't done a bee post 

for a year and a half now, 

can you BEE-lieve it?

Incidentally, if you're a new reader

and are wondering WTF is up

with all the bee imagery on this blog,

this older post will answer that!

I couldn't end without 

a bad pun, now could I?

That would constitute 

un-BEE-coming BEE-haviour!

Bees Galore!

This blog can never have too many bee images!

MANY THANKS

to these perceptive blog readers

who sent me the following

gorgeous bee images

they found on the internet --

From Jackiesue of Yellowdog Granny --

From e of plufrompdx --

And even one from

Her Royal Highness the Cat --

Bees, Glorious Bees

As you can see from my blog header and sidebar,

bees are important here at She Who Seeks blog.

(If you're a "newbee" in the hive and want to know why,

click on this link to find out.)

So today's post is dedicated to bees everywhere!

Bees are notoriously hard workers.

And speaking of bee butts . . . .

However, it's a dangerous thing to be a bee today.

Let's walk a mile in their shoes

(errr, boots) to see why.

Bees pollinate most of the world's crops.

The crops on which we all depend in order to live.

Pesticides are killing off bees at an alarming rate.

Some even fear that bees will soon die out completely.

That would be disastrous for all of us, of course.

So it's clear what we must do.

Ban those pesticides now!

We must protect bees and

their central place in our ecosystem.

Before it's too late!
