I have a bush in my yard that the bees adore. Its full of little tiny flowers that dance above the lush green leaves in a cloud of white. The perfume of these flowers is what draws them in. When I stand and listen, my ears fill with a buzz and a hum from all the tiny wings beating in a faint rhythm. The busy bees are gathering pollen to return to their hive. They are covered in a sweet yellow haze as they fly away. The bush is beginning to fade now, but the bees will continue until their job is done and they move on to another yard. They are mostly honey bees, but there are a few bumble bees too which are my favorites for painting. Happy Friday everyone!
