buzz, buzz – and we can’t stress this enough – buzz.
Flowers are in full bloom, hibernation is over, and all across the country, fuzzy, sleepy heads are peering out of hives. It can mean but one thing – bee season is once again upon us. Honey, they’re home!
It’s hard not to love bees. They’re loyal, they’re cooperative, they have jobs, and they literally do a little dance to communicate. Possessing a sense of groove and a stable employment is more than can be said for a lot of us humans, so there’s probably a thing or two we can learn from our busy little comrades.
