Wow Timmy! Bee's a pretty important to our environment. Thanks so much for all those facts. I've learned some new things about bee's.

I love that the bees came in the post mail. How much fun that must have been to pick them up and place them in their home with the queen bee.

I can't wait to hear more.

Timothy,
I'm so glad you're into honey bees. I was for a short while in college and really injoyed it.I really liked all the facts you presented about these wonderful little friends God created .Nature is like the Bible it testifies of God. By observing all the order and incredulous structure of all creation we know that this could not happen by accident.
I may someday get bees called "humble bees".These bees are good pollinators yet more gentle.My daughter is highly allergic to bees so I don't want anything that may sting in our tiny back yard. I have onserved bees that live in the ground here and they also seem very gentle. Sometimes they bring back pieces of leaves to their nest. I wonder what kind of bees they are?
Hope to talk again. Say hello to mom and dad for me. Aunt Gina
