Another Perspective on Life

Ann’s friend and bee-keeping mentor,
Everett,
came recently
to look at the bees
in our hives.
And so our lessons about
and from
bees
continue.

On the hot days
some bees
carry tiny drops of water
from the nearby pond
back to the tiny cells in the hive,
where other bees
spend their time fanning the hive
with their tiny wings.
And since most bees
live only two to four weeks,
this may be all they do,
if their particular life occurs
during the hot season.
They do whatever the community needs
during their
(from my perspective)
brief
life.
Hmmm…
