Honey Kindness

The summers of my youth on the farm helped me appreciate and respect the world of insects and animals.
I have always been fascinated by the industry of the honeybee.
It is intent on its ask to gather nectar.
It looks for every opportunity to sink its tongue into the colorful and even not-so-colorful blossoms.
It is not discouraged when it is not successful in finding nectar in a blossom, but seeks out its next opportunity with buzzing energy.
While it is busy with the gathering of nectar, it in turn pollinates the blossoms to help them fulfill the measure of their creation.
Finally, laden with success, it returns, and the nectar becomes the honey of the hive, nurturing not only itself, but the next generation of bees.

Now, you and I both know that the honeybee gathers nectar purely by instinct.
It just can't help it!
Nevertheless, it also goes about doing much good.

I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
