Last Spring we
noticed that we had bees flying near our front door. They seemed interested in
the bushes by our front windows. One bee in particular seemed to be the most
aggressive – to other bees, not to us, thank goodness. I had even named it as I
watched it flitter around. It was chasing away any other bees that came by.
Well, the bushes
are beginning to flower again and Bebe is back! It seems to have even more
energy than last year. It is there when I open the door but it isn’t
threatening. It keeps its distance as I watch it discourage any other bees that
seem interested in the bushes. The strange thing is that I don’t see any nest
in the bushes. What is it protecting? Last year we checked the gutters but they
were clean, as they are this year.
By now I expect to
see Bebe greeting me in the morning. The buzz gets a smile as I open the front
door – a delightful way to start the day!

What a lovely observation. You have a delightful way of observing nature in all it's intricacies and even being delighted in what do many others would fear.
ReplyDeleteBebe doesn't come close enough to be threatening and it seems to be comfortable doing whatever it needs to do.
