Bees
Without the bees we would not have sunflowers to walk through.. nor would we have most of the food we eat. Thank a Bee when you see it. One in three bites of food is only possible because of all their hard work… and really… sitting in a field of sunflowers with only the sound of bees hard at work is a pretty awe inspiring moment.
Bees on comb
Our Bees do most of their work at the beginning of the maze when the pollen is fresh so by the end, as the flowers start to turn into seeds the bees find other sources of pollen. If you are afraid of our little friends, come later in the season. By the third week, most of the bees have moved on to the clover in the surrounding fields.
If ever a bee confuses you with a beautiful flower, just whistle.. she will move along.. flowers don’t know how to whistle.
