Bee-friended

Our friends David and Stephen brought fabulous gifts our way last evening. I don't know where or how David managed to score this bee-box treasure and the charmingly minuscule chenille bee shown below. ("I have my sources," he replied to my queries with an air of mystery. He sure does!)
I introduced the bee to Gumdrop. She was intrigued.
Sencha, as usual, was more tentative. He took one sniff and decided it was a fearsome thing and literally bolted from the room.
But not before first shooting me a look of alarm.

I'll take Sencha's nonplussed response as proof of this bee's mojo. Thanks Stephen and David! This one goes into the annals of Truly Great Gifts!
