Fannish Fifty: Bees

[smallhobbit]

I like bees.

I have a bee duvet cover and throw



I have bee notelets and bee sticky notes



I had a bee calendar, although as I already had a calendar I converted some of the pictures into jigsaw puzzles



I even have a bee cross stitch which I was given for Mother's Day



I am not so fond of the bumble bee who tries to take a short cut through the house in the mornings, so I close the bedroom window and it goes over or round.

And as for fandom - where would Sherlock Holmes be in his retirement without his bees?

As soon as I read the title, I had that one instagram lady's voice in my head, saying, "And that was another wonderful day to save the beezz."

[smallhobbit]

Definitely - do all I can for the bees - even the bumble bee who is better off not getting lost trying to find its way out of the bathroom window!

[debriswoman]

Yep…all the bees :-)

[smallhobbit]

They're bee-ry important!

[debriswoman]

Bee-ssential, even :-p

Bees are so cute! I love them 🖤Your stuff is so cute!

I have two bee plushies next to me and got another one last week (as well as a bee Lego set cause it’s so cute)

[smallhobbit]

Aw, thank you very much.

I'm delighted you have bee plushies and bee Lego :)

Excellent! So many bees! Love the stationery!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you - yes, I enjoy having bees around :)

[adafrog]

Cute.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you 🐝

That's delightful! I applaud your taste in bees. I like them too.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I'm delighted you're a bee fan too!

Yes ...

I love bees too. Here I plant things for them to enjoy. Some years we have a bee tree. Always there are honeybees and bumblebees and tiny native bees around in the flowers. Some of the natives are a vivid metallic green.

Re: Yes ...

[smallhobbit]

That all sounds great and I do like the thought of metallic green bees. We have plants in pots which the bees like.

Re: Yes ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Apparently the green bees come in many variations.

You have an impressive bee collection! I love your bee duvet cover and throw, and I think your cross stitch bee is adorable.

I just re-read "His Last Bow" recently and was reminded that bees play a role in deceiving Von Bork. Rather than giving Von Bork the code book, Holmes delivers a package containing a copy of Practical Handbook of Bee Culture. :-)

Thank you very much - I too enjoy using my bee duvet cover and throw.

Von Burk really should have stuck with bee culture rather than spying!
