Forget Me Not with Honeybee


I must say that the colors on this Forget Me Not are just extraordinary. This little honeybee might well be one from the "old hive" in the honey hole in the big tree behind my house. I say that because I did learn, from a beekeeper who came out here to get the nest of bees suspended on my spruce tree, that old hives get too crowded and a dormant queen will emerge and take with her a slew of honeybees and form a new hive somewhere. The old hive, in what I call the "Honey Hole," will remain there where it is in the hole that used to be where squirrels gave birth to babies and I have photos of these tiny (by squirrel standards) heads peeking out of that hole. Anyway; nowadays, the hole is always filled with honeybees coming and going and I suspect this dude is one of them who just got a shot of juice from the flowers that comes and goes and is called, Forget Me Not.
