"There is one masterpiece, the hexagonal cell, that touches perfection.
No living creature, not even man, has achieved, in the centre of his sphere, what the bee has achieved in her own: and were some one from another world to descend and ask of the earth the most perfect creation of the logic of life, we should needs have to offer the humble comb of honey."
~Maurice Maeterlinck - The Life of the Bee, 1924~
(My photo is of a bee taken at Meadowlark Gardens last summer. I already miss the bees and flowers. Lovely to be reminded of them, especially when the weather is cold and we have snow on the ground.)
Schönes Bild von der fleißigen Biene.
