I've always loved bees. They are such diligent, beautiful little beasts. I can sit amongst flowers and watch bees for as long as they are around. My favourite meditation.
When I was a little girl, we had a Small Creatures graveyard at the end of my garden. My friends and I always buried bees, butterflies, beetles and other small beings there, paying them the last respects for being a wonderful part of this world and wishing them safe journey across the Rainbow bridge. I have to confess, I still have the urge to do the same thing now when I am a fully grown up person.
I was in a business centre few years ago and admiring a canvas with a bee in the centre and words, bee happy, around it. The person who was a manager there was looking at me and smiling, as if she could sense how much I liked the canvas. I smiled back and said: “I really like it.” So, she took the picture off, gave it to me, saying: “Please have it. We are changing interior and all the colour scheme soon anyway.”
I thanked her from the bottom of my heart. Since then the canvas is in my living room, reminding me of bees and happy feelings, the importance of them, both of them.

A nice story and a nice picture of Tiggy and the Bee. I now the days are warmer have had to start rescuing the silly bees who fly into my conservatory and helping them back outside before my cat Ophelia can catch them her idea of playing and theirs being very different. However, I don't think she would mind, being a vain creature, having her photograph taken with a picture of one. Thank you for posting.
I loved the idea of the Small Creatures graveyard. All of nature is precious.
Most enjoyable Maija. You're very compassionate - and bees need all the help they can get. Lovely cat and canvas too ;-)
