About
I'm going through my photos, archiving them to CDs. This one, taken the first week of August, shows a simple little worker honey bee gathering pollen from Mullen plant flowers. she has a simple purpose in life, to obey the duties dictated by her changing age. A worker in the field gathering either nectar or pollen is the last role in a little worker bees life. For life in the field is hard on the wings and once the wings wear out no further function exists for the little lady bees. Somehow though, I guess I'm feeling a little melancholy at the changing of the yearly seasons,but it seems almost desireable to have only one fixed purpose, one fixed role in life. Life would be much simpler to only have to look for another flower to visit before taking your load of pollen back to the hive. . .
