I have plotted out 5 essential points as to why bees are CRUCIAL to my existence and why I am ever so thankful for their creation.
#1: Thank you for pollinating all the plants.
I do not have the time nor the patience to collect, transport and disseminate all of the pollen that needs to be spread around the world. You guys are the best. Thanks for carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
#2: Thank you for your God-ordained color ensemble.
Where would I bee (no pun intended) without the amazing color schema of black and yellow? Truly, the bees are real fashionistas. My wardrobe will never be the same without this sort of inspiration.
#3: Thank you for sparing my life.
Oh gracious bee, thank you for having mercy on me, this poor fragile human. I am entirely indebted to the bee race for sparing your stingers on me. I've never been stung and for that I am truly grateful. Let's keep it that way.
#4: Thank you for Honey-Nut Cheerios.
What more needs to be said? You have forever changed the course breakfast cereal history.
#5: Thank you for making Haagen-Dazs even sweeter than before.
I wouldn't even be in this position if it weren't for your decreasing population. Thank you for the lives lost, the pollen un-spread, and for putting up with our negligence of the planet. Without your oncoming extinction, Haagen-Dazs would have never put on this event and I therefore would never have realized the importance of the bees. Besides, honey has always been better than refined white sugar. You guys are legit.
While of course these points merely scrape the surface of the importance of bee existence, my gratitude is greater than ever before. So to protect my fellows bees, have a scoop of Haagen-Dazs, educate yourself (by not watching The Secret Life of Bees, but rather by actually researching), and try to leave a smaller footprint on the planet (even if it means wearing stilettos, okay I'm kidding).
Yeah, it was a good idea for you to start a blog. You're definitely the right person for the job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chuck! All I need is a greater following. It sometimes gets a little lonely around here...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those BEEautiful sentiments! This blog made my day...actually it made my day yesterday when I first read it to so I had to leave a comment. You know, we can also thank the bees for contributing to the Promise Land- the land flowing with milk and HONEY. Where would we bee without them?
