It might surprise you to learn that I am allergic to bee stings! If I were to get stung, I might need a trip to the ER, if I don't have an epi pen handy. Fortunately, these are all very peaceful; no angry "Africanized" bees here.
It was actually fun to spend about an hour out by the lavender, capturing these shots. Had hoped to get a few butterflies as well, but they seems to take off before I could get near them.
One day I'm going to have a lovely garden and I want to try my hand at beekeeping. I think it could do well here in Florida. I'm not allergic to bees but it's definitely not pleasant to get stung! Oh! Do you have hummingbirds too?
