Bee-sting Love
Personal memory by Liz
1985 • Clyde, OH 43410, USA
I miss the overabundance of honey bees on dandelions. My first bee-sting was from stepping one while running barefoot as a child. I remembered having to look for spots to step when approaching dandelions and clover where a bee wasn't and it was pretty challenging because there were so many. As I walk through grass now and see clover and/or dandelions... the bees are rarely seen and never like they were when I was a child. I miss them, I know they have a huge place in our survival on this planet and I worry what did we do to make their existence such a challenge?
