Secret Rites…

Hello everybody, this is Polly and Billi The Bees, and this is our Guest Blog.

We know that today we were scheduled to tell you about The Birds, but quite honestly birds are dirty creatures and we don't think you'll really want to know about their disgusting habits, so instead we're going to tell you some more about Bees! Lovely! 

Today we're going to describe a Secret Rite carried out by bees which has never been seen by humans before — it's called 'Pollination'!

Wilson had been a bit concerned that his strawberry plant wasn't doing very well, so we offered to 'pollinate' it for him.

Now I'll admit that since Billi and I got married we have piled on the ounces, so flying is not as easy as it once was — this is why, in the photo, we're balancing on Wilson's head. That's Billi right on top, with the paintbrush, because she has the better head for heights. 

The paintbrush is an integral part of the 'pollination' ritual but its use is SO secret that I don't think we can reveal what it's used for.

Anyway, that is the Secret Rite of 'Pollination' explained — please keep this to yourselves or it won't be a secret any more, will it? 

We'll see you next month with more interesting Bee News when it's our turn to Guest Blog again. And remember to: BEE HAPPY!

Lovely!
