"Where there are bees there are flowers, and wherever there are flowers there is new life and hope"- Christy Lefteri

Hello to the Wonderful People of Hive!!!

Hope you are doing well today. As I woke up this morning, I was so interested to join the ASEAN Hive Challenge #33 authored by justinparke@justinparke.

This challenge had given me the inspiration to love and appreciate more the beauty of nature, that sometimes we never noticed how good life is and how insects helped our nature.

I visited our backyard and look our Patola ( Sponge Gourd Plants). Patola was one of the vegetables used as a spice in cooking Tinola (stew or soup) and it can also be mixed in a Paksiw (fish cooked in vinegar). As I look around the plants, it has green leaves, fruits and so many flowers around. There were buds of flowers too that seems to bloom in a day. It's nice to watch the yellow flowers that beautifully bloom.

I checked the flowers and I saw this insect that makes the flowers their habitat. Somewhat like tiny bees living peacefully as I watched them. It seems like they were not moving and like they were sleeping.

I turned to the other side of Patola plants and I saw this set of ants crawling above and under the flower. They seem to like playing around under the shade.

I moved again and carefully watched this bees which were having fun visiting the flowers. They were somewhat doing their business and then they leaves and transfers to another flower. I made a photograph carefully because they only remained in a flower for just a second and then leave. I was so amused and enjoy watching over this bees and I was looking forward every time s
they go near around to another flower.

These insects have a significant and valuable role in our environment. They helped that we never noticed in our daily life. We are busy in our lives while they are busy with their own life as well. As what it had said earlier if there is a flower there is new life and hope.

This is my entry for Asean Hive Challenge #33 Insect Life. Thank you for spending time reading this blog, my fellow friends. God bless us all
