Recently we recognized Bee Day. This year is the first I heard of this day. I’m allergic to bee venom and must go to the hospital ASAP when stung, so I am honestly not a big fan of bees. However I recognize their importance to our continued existence so I am advocating for a bee week. Perhaps we could celebrate a different species each day. The bumble bee rarely stings, and is therefore my favorite.

Beautiful capture of the bee and flowers, Dawn. They are tiny, but import to our plants and environment. Thank you for reminding us.

Great picture. We have a lot of Bumble Bees in our area. Sorry you are allergic to bees and that it can be life threatening.

Knock on wood, I’ve only been stung about 10 times (by all bees) in my life and only had a reaction to the last five, the last one being the most serious and getting the lecture from the doc.

Stay safe. Each sting seems to be getting worse for you.

Bees are amazing. My dad was allergic to them and tried shots for desensitization but never found out whether they worked.

Well that’s good. I wish I had never found out, but it is a heckuva story. Maybe I’ll get to tell you sometime.

I do carry Benadryl. The Epi pen is very expensive and expires in a year so my doctor told me to carry Benadryl, take immediately if am stung, and get to the hospital ASAP. But yes, I do avoid the bees, and all my closest family and friends know what to do.
But thanks ❤

That’s a great photo, and brave of you to get close enough to capture it. They are fascinating, albeit dangerous to many people.
