I was going down the road the other day and noticed a bee on the 
windshield..I accelerated to 60 mph..it still was clinging to the bare 
windshield about 5 inches above the lower edge. It was amazing to watch 
.Finally I just had to stop and get out and bring the little girl in the 
truck with me. Seeing it was about high 40's or low 50's she was chilled and 
just clunked over on her side. In a few minutes she was preening and  rarin' 
to go. When i arrived back home I rolled the window down and out she 
flew...back to her hive I assume.
We use the word "wonderful" more or less interchangeably with "great" 
or"really good".I like the old english usage of the word which means "full 
of wonder"..which is what the honeybee is to me.
To slow down and appreciate this really adds a sweetness to life.
