Welcome to Litsy!

I found this picture on Facebook and wrote this about it.

Fascinating to hear how much oaks impact the ecosystem— I wonder if we can find a place to grow one even if we move to the city. Great book either way & very well researched

I don‘t care that my kids are almost all grown, I‘ll always love Eric Carle. :) 🐛 📚 🥰

Next to my porch in my garden while I was reading, a monarch butterfly visited my bee balm & milkweed! My neighbor has seen monarchs, & yellow & black swallowtails. When I stopped by for a chat, I had the privilege of seeing all three visit her garden. 🦋

I decided to read this after listening to an episode of the podcast Sawbones where they discuss stinging insects. I never imagined I would learn this much about bugs, or that I would enjoy the learning. But here we are, and now I have even more fear (and respect) for stinging things. And this author was insane. I can‘t imagine letting anything sting me just to see how painful it is. But it makes for a good story!

Burger flights… so yummy!!

I found a graphic on Facebook showing the bee hierarchy and I wanted to know if drone honeybees die after mating so I included that information from my Google search that I did too. I wanted to write a haiku about bees.

Bees have a hierarchy
Drone honeybees die after mating with the queen bee
because they ejaculate so hard that their penis gets
ripped off of their body
😳Wow. That sounds like it hurts 😳

I colored this picture on one of my coloring apps and it says “Don‘t worry, Bee happy”. It made me think of the #haikuhive and I wanted to write a #haiku about it in case anyone needs encouragement.

If y‘all are worried about anything at all then
🐝Don‘t worry, “Bee” happy 🐝
I know it‘s easier said than done

But everything will be alright
Brighter days are ahead
You can‘t have a rainbow without the rain
