cold, cold bees
Today, at the Butterfly Pavilion, Anna really wanted to look at the display of honey bees, which she asked for by saying “eeeee” (her word for bees buzzing). It is pretty cool, you can see the bee hive behind glass, and watch them go in and out of the building to collect nectar, via a glass tube. Today, though, they weren’t going outside: it was 40 degrees with a foot of snow on the ground. I explained that it was too cold for them to go out, and she responded with her sign for hat. As in “maybe the bees need hats.” That made me laugh for about an hour, picturing little yellow and black striped tophats on each bee.
