Addicted to Pollen
I tried to conduct an interview with the bee you can find in the picture to your left, but all I could hear or make out was, “Pollen. Pollen. Pollen. Got to get more pollen.” Over and over that is what I heard. He repeated this as he flew from one blossom to another sometimes landing on blossoms he had already been to. “Pollen! Pollen! Pollen! Where is the pollen?!” He would buzz. I tried to interrupt him to tell him which blossoms where the most profitable, but he wouldn’t listen. He was head strong and distracted. I was the last thing he wanted to pay any attention to. When I got my camera close enough to him to snap his picture, he buzzed over and landed on my lens. “Pollen. Pollen. Pollen. Are you pollen?” He buzzed. “No,” I said. “I am not pollen.” And then he buzzed away and landed on another blossom. I snapped his picture, and went on with my day.
Hey!
I just got the message you left on my blog a few days ago – sorry for the delay.
So wow, you’re going to Fuyang AND you know the people I was teaching with – it is a small world!
I know Fuyang High School well – I used to go there for my Chinese lessons and know a guy that was teaching there. The lessons are pretty easy to plan for, I’m sure you will find it easy.
They really do look after you in Fuyang too, Mr Zhou who you will be working with is a lovely man and will help you with anything you need – he is a real star!
Anyway – give me a shout with anything else at all – I’d be happy to help =)
