Music to Bee By
"For the bee, honey is the ultimate reality. It represents the fulfillment of her life mission, the triumph over her enemies, the continuity of the hive, the justification for working herself to death. Honey is to bees what money in the bank is to people—a measure of prosperity and well-being. But there is nothing abstract or symbolic about honey, as there is about money, which has no intrinsic value. There is more real wealth in a pound of honey, or a load of manure for that matter, than all the currency in the world. We often destroy the world's real wealth to create an illusion of wealth, confusing symbol and substance."—Wm. Longgood, The Queen Must Die

Thanks, Eva. I appreciate your kind response, and I appreciate that, with all the blogs out there, you take the time to view mine.
Oh what a beautiful and heart-warming display! My speakers aren't working at present, and I'm sure I didn't miss a thing -- the pix speak for themselves.
