Spiders And Bees


     I learned that bees sleep. Their antennas droop and and their legs splay when they sleep. Sometimes they fall asleep mid-day on a flower. It sounds rough, I know, but that's the life of a bee. 
     Bees are interesting to me. They suck flowers all day. Sip'em, drink em' up, they're almost perfectly innocent but for their stingers. Their stingers keep things honest.  
     I stepped on a bee once. That was painful. How such a tiny thing can inflict so much pain is amazing to me. It was a mega-dose of pain.
     Spiders interest me for the same reason. Size and ability. How does a spider create a seemly endless supply of webbing? It's remarkable when you think about it. The webbing just keeps coming. Where does it come from. How do they produce it so quickly? I'll have to research that next. It's all so amazing to me.
