Drunken Bees

The bees in my yard go belly to the bar.

Often.

This video is from a staggering hot spell, and we made it a point to have water available in buckets and tubs.

It never entered our thoughts to offer something to our insect neighbors.

And not to worry, they took care of it themselves.

 

Bees at the Bar

You’ve heard about busy bees, no doubt.

Anybody ever told you about the lazy bees?

These are worker bees who’ve decided to hell with all that pollen gathering and dancing and waxing and such, we’re going out for a good drunk!

They’re normally quite friendly.

Until someone touches their watering hole…I mean, birdfeeder.

Hummingbird feeder, to be exact.

Not only loiterous, also usurping.

Or slurping.
