This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Busy Bees!
Day 340: What's the latest buzz? You'd have known the front-page news was poppies if you'd walked past my garden this morning. The honeybees were having a heyday in the Shirleys, up to five at once at the center of a blossom, frantically working gathering pollen. I've never seen them as busy. What was it about the poppies? They ignored the lavender and the Livingston daisies, didn't give a glance to the Nigella or Globe Gilia. Their attention was focused solely on the Shirleys. Seeing them so busy made me glad I had another obligation this morning which precluded joining a work party at the site where I was stung three weeks ago!
