It sure seems as if those buzzing little girls remembered you had flowers there last year. Incredible....we sure don't think of insects having a brain capable of functioning beyond the moment.Shelly Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367843308248195970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013316887660017880.post-37139475398749077392010-04-07T23:32:16.780-05:002010-04-07T23:32:16.780-05:00What a gorgeous shot of the ladybug!
I have alway...What a gorgeous shot of the ladybug!<br /><br />I have always supposed the bees remember certain spots for next season. It would be a useful trait to have -- and they can communicate such precise directions to one another in the hive already. Why not be able to keep the directions alive for more than a few months?<br /><br />This season, though, I'm convinced of it. The victory garden is still flower-bare, except for some bolted radishes, since I grow almost everything from seed and it takes a while to flower -- yet it's got bees buzzing through it all day long, and one made the tour several times yesterday through a patch that was full of flowers last year, as though he just couldn't get that there was nothing yet. ;)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.com
