Stay a While, Bee


Our tangerine tree's in bloom. It happened while we were teching Steps, so we just noticed on Monday. The scent's amazing, but the funny thing is: if you sniff a flower closely, you can't smell it. It has to waft through the air to you. I told Dave it's as if the scent molecules have to oxidize before you get the full-on orange-tree aroma.

And it's covered with bees - yay! I keep telling them to go around the corner and check out my tomato blossoms. They ignore me for now, but they'll be back when the basil blooms. I want to know where they're taking all this luscious tangerine nectar. Dave and I are talking about putting in a hive this year, so we can raid their honey periodically. (More about that soon, too.)

What did Dave say when you busted out with The Science?

"Mm-hmm." (eye roll)

He knows to expect it. For all I know, my oxidation theory is like the flat-earth theory. It sounded good at the time!
