The Poor, Misfortunate Bees

Betsy Bear went to the countryside today, and you will not believe what happened. A group of bees had dropped by the crab apple tree up at our country cottage. I suppose they thought it was too early in the season, and so they would be safe from Betsy Bear. Needless to say, they were wrong, and she took the poor things for ALL of their honey. Here's a shot of the tree. Doesn't it look nice?



The poor bees were so happy, buzzing around it, gathering their little collections of nectar, and then Betsy pounced. I hope their hive has insurance.
