Phenomenal banner and subject! Words just do not adequately convey the beauty and purity of the bloom or its little guests. I could try, but I'd be here all night. It's best to just sit back and enjoy it like it is. Very well done Cal!

What a great group.

Thank you so much for all your encouragement.

Bees are so amazing. They work so hard, and give so
much back, not to mention being fun to watch.

I haven't been stung since I fired a BB at the hive on
the wall of our home when I was ~11. They chased me
and one got me on the eyelid. I was verrrry lucky.
I've respected them ever since.

Here is the 4.6mb image if anyone wants to see more details.
