A Friendly Beast


As a break from the non-stop slugfest (caught 70 more this morning before dawn, mostly tiny ones), here's a picture of a much friendlier backyard companion, on a huge, but neglected rosemary bush in the neighborhood. It is blooming, and a bee showed up to take advantage. Click on the picture and look. Already covered with pollen! That is one hard-working bee. I hope she has lots of friends (or her queen has lots of babies) to help pollinate my garden this summer. I would like to learn beekeeping someday.
