BEE BUTTS..... |

|
I'm so happy that the bees are back......The songbirds and the frogs and the nesting Ravens.......I missed the friendly sounds they make......especially the Bumble Bees. When I was first learning English language.....between 9 and 10..I assumed that Bumble bees were called that because they had their big furry bum sticking out of flowers all of the time......Bum....Bl Bee......I love the reverberating buzz of their voices when they have their heads inside a flower......Spring!!!!

I never really thought about a Bum bl bee going into a flower but when I see it I will think of this blog

I didn't take these photos.... They came from a site called "Beekeeping International" .......

One day I was sitting on a log watching the surf.....there were purple beach-peas flowering close to my feet.......A bee came along and landed on the tongue that protrudes from the tubular body of the blossom....the weight of the bee opened the flower like Alladin's cave and the bee walked into a shower of golden pollen.....She squirmed in there as if in ecstasy, then, laden with pollen, she backs out and when she takes off with a loud drone, the flower closes.....illustrating how the term "the birds and the bees" as an idiom for sex came to be.
