Yesterday's Bee

The bee that I posted yesterday was still languishing on the hyacinth in this morning's mist. I had to go out and it was still there when I returned at lunchtime. I touched it gently, thinking it might be dead. It moved slightly. I dribbled some runny honey onto the bloom and was amazed how quickly it got its proboscis stuck into the golden sweetness. I was flabbergasted when, after only a few minutes, it buzzed off.
