Did you know that the third Saturday in August is National Honey Bee Day?

Me, neither! Until today. (Tip of the hat to Natalia for cluing me in!) So let's make the best of what's left of it, by celebrating honey bees and recognizing their contributions to our lives!

The huge amount of our food which depends on their pollination is always an obvious place to start. Too abstract? How about honey?! There, that's easy to focus on.

Wikipedia's got an overview.

I'm going to go have a little smackerel of honey right now! And mark this on my calendar for next year!
