😂 - yeah, Nancy. Another way to phrase that is, “It’ll either kill me or cure me!”

Seriously, though, it seems like there are some lessons or wisdom the bees want to impart. Hopefully I’ll listen well enough to “get it” and share it.

We’ll see, Laura. Getting them into the hive is only the first step!

This is tremendously cool! How exciting and affirming. I served on the Clarion board of the Penn state Extension service several years. Great organization!

Congrats! Can’t wait to see them “in person”

What a lovely gift to be able to be part of the study, and get more bees and the necessary accoutrement.

What strikes me in the video of the bees orienting themselves is how utterly herself each bee is. There are hundreds? thousands? of bees, and yet each one is doing what she knows to do, without questioning if she is needed. It is a lesson for us humans, to know that we are each needed to do what we individually and collectively do.
