ps You may say “What is a little fat bee in a world of giraffes and elephants and other big animals”. Well noting of course if you never take the time to look at it a little bit closer. But if you do then you will find out that size is’t all that matters when it comes to the miracles of the world. Many small bees working togehter weigh more than an elephant. Thats just plain facts. ds
