I’m pretty sure this little guy was in Stephen King’s movie The Mist.

I got stung by this fellas brother/sister the other day. My arm selled up like a balloon and I even had to see a doctor. It was tewtally my fault though, and after seeing this closeup, I’m glad he/she got away unsquashed.

Rosie A. and Suzanne- this is a bee story- don’t read it if it will make you uneasy-

Another installation of “Norwegian Father”-I witnessed as a child, the ‘bee whisperer’ held his sizable hand very still and a bumblebee landed on it. He took his sizable finger,from his other sizable hand and actually stroked the bumbles’ back, for about 20 seconds, the bee flew off and I tried to scoop up my jaw.
My grandmother is said to have had the most beautiful gardens in their little section of Norway, because the bees liked them so much.

OKAY IT IS SAFE TO COME OUT NOW. I’d really freak out with some animal pictures,(no, I won’t give anyone ammo) so I understand, I really do.

Hey all you bee-peeps in Northern California, I recently visited a wonderful shop in Sebastepol called BeeKind, (of course), that features everything bees… jewelry to honey jars to candy to candles to everything you need for setting up your own hives. They have a cool website, too:

i got a bumper sticker there that says “Give bees a chance”. Being a “B.”, myself, I am a huge bee-fan!

If he starts speaking like Antonio Banderas, then I’m in serious trouble!
