The Bee Whisperer
I am blessed with a delightful child in my life (one of 3 delights) who told me that she has a special talent - she is a bee whisperer! Her name is Mia and she is 8 years old.Big, fat, fuzzy bumble bees, skinny little yellow jackets. "Don't touch! You'll get stung!" No matter. She goes up to the little bees on the flowers and pets them. You have to see it to appreciate the finesse involved. I guess they know she means them no harm and they return the favor.
A child who loves nature so much is a treasure - so caring and kind to all living creatures. She has learned a lot about life in only 8 years. Here 
she is with a praying mantis.
she is with a praying mantis. We spend a lot of time in the garden. A bee, an ant, a bird, a snake - everything is an experience and a sweet joy to be discovered anew with Mia.

the bees are wonderful aren't they?I had a wonderful bumblebee who kept me company in my garden, funny, fat and faithful, a fuzzy little flying friend.
Does Mia make housecalls? I have some humongous carpenter bees gracing the eaves of my new rental. Instead of pesticides I would welcome the magic of your bee whisperer:)
Without bees we would be denied the joy of blossoming buds and our garden's vegetable bounties!
Susan, what an exquisite piece of creativity. I felt like I was in the garden with you both. You are very lucky to have such a gifted little person in your life!
