Notice anything “off” about Jack’s photo? Compare his ears. Though he’s got notoriously ample earlobes to begin with, one of his ears is not like the other.
The increased size of his right earlobe is due to a honey bee sting. She got upset and defensive that Jack was looking around the hive, eventually getting frustrated and angry enough to sting. It did it’s job.

However, in the end, the bee loses. Of course a sting hurts the offender but it is she that perishes from her own wrath.

So, as much as we sometimes would like to act on our passions, it is always better to be patient and forgive and forget.
That is the lesson of the honey bee.

I was wondering how they've been doing…I read a quote from a local landscaper…that ended up being a hoax: http://www.snopes.com/quotes/einstein/bees.asp
But nonetheless, I was wondering if yours have survived 🙂
