And I thought all the worker bees were drones - males. Ladies would be the resourceful ones, soaking in moisture..............please educate me! Love bees and visit two hives on my daughter's large property

I've been on Steemit almost a year. Where have you been in my life with your 'bursting at the seams' confidence and joy? It nearly got too much for me until I saw the photograph of the contrasting yellow

Hello Mgaft1 I'm still recovering from the death of my siamese cat..........10 years ago! He lived to 19 years old and was my best best friend. You are so right. Most of our dogs lived a brief 10 to 13

Many thoughts, sleepless nights and wine......... I like your sense of humour and purpose free-reign. I drink mostly South African brilliant wines but I must say that red from Oz sounds attractive.

Delightful! When watching whales doing what whales do out at sea, I have to find my 'whale' eyes. In the game reserve I have to find my 'animal' eyes. Even more difficult to find my 'bird' eyes, unless

A horrible story! Sadly so much history is nasty and makes us cringe. I'm looking forward to reading your new venture.

I went to a primary school whose motto on the badge under two galloping horses (don't understand the significance even now) was Loyalty, Honour, Truth. My sisters and I (retirement age) still sing the

I really enjoyed your random ramblings. You 'sell' your post with the eye catching pictures along the way. I recently sold 4 pictures that I displayed at a group art exhibition. I am so excited by the

That nest is a work of art close up.........I love the textures and layers of colour. I'm gobsmacked by the knowledge that the wasps themselves are artists each adding his own colour and style. Well written

You make me laugh out loud! Archaic indeed.....there is an old fashioned side of me that delights in the precise use of language by the masters...Dickens, Shakespeare and many others whose control of the

Fortunately the joys outweigh the sadness especially when it came to the horses. I can still shut my eyes and remember the exhilaration of galloping on my horse Alex, all cares forgotten. He seemed to

My grandson used to behave anyway he liked and his ''go to comment was an immediate, 'I'm sorry.' His parents eventually got him to realise that his initial behaviour had to be modified. As a teenager

Hi Joan I've learned some of my best lessons from watching my daughter's beloved pack of dogs! When Lily Mae, a Boxer pup, arrived the older spaniels growled at her and shunned her. She took no notice

Judge your audience or group of people. If there are older women present you might very well confuse and or insult them by calling them 'guys'. Feminist young women are likely not to tune into what you

I love the detail of your comment! Fantastic. You must have extra gray matter. Is this linked do you think with right and left brain thinking? All very interesting and I must say I am impressed by your
