The sun is shining longer and longer with the summer solstice within reach. The bees are enjoying it and happily buzzing around the flowers in my yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are hard-working females just like me. I admire that they are graceful and strong and work together on their home. They all work together on their hive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once again, I am cut off from my work. I lost my job and I want to find another one. The bees have a headquarters that I don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People have heard that I\u2019m jobless again. They are encouraging and offer sympathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can take it easy! Maybe you should take the summer off. You don\u2019t have to look for a job right away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once, I had a swarm of bees land in my backyard. It was a terrifying spectacle, hundreds of bees zooming around then landing in a heavy swarm on the nandina bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They stayed there all night, eventually leaving the next afternoon. They left wax hexagons on the bush. Even just one overnight stay, they were building a new hive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. Me and the bees. I am always building something, working on a project or expressing some idea. They do not rest when then are resting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I felt sad that these bees couldn\u2019t keep building on their start. I didn\u2019t want the bees to live in my backyard, but they had a vision for a day that they could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When they decided they couldn\u2019t live there, they flew on to find a better spot. They didn\u2019t linger once they made up their hive mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They don\u2019t relax when they are on the hunt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My cat relaxes. My dog relaxes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bees don\u2019t much. Neither do I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The backyard bee swarm were not angry. They were on the job of checking out their new surrounding for suitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have been times when on the job hunt, I was agitated and freaked out. I don\u2019t feel that way now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel like the bees again. Looking around and assessing. I\u2019m seeing what different spots have to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d like to lay down sturdy hexagons that will last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
