Bees

There is little excuse for missing posts the entire Christmas season, only to appear on Epiphany with a link to an article about. . .bees. Perhaps I can shoehorn them in to the liturgical side of things by pointing out that they are a lovely shade of gold, and it is, after all, a day associated with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But I do believe that's stretching it. The real reason I'm putting it up is because the pictures are recent, they are excellent, and the one downside of winter around here is that one doesn't usually see such things in the depths of it. So here, have some carpenter bees. (And a very blessed Epiphany to you!)
