2011, Day 227 - Crown

I was watching a documentary about ants the other day and it reminded me they are relatives to bees, they are all members of the order hymenoptera.  As I watched this bee I noticed how methodical he was, walking around and around the flower harvesting pollen.  That kind of precision reminds me of ants leaving their pheromone trail so that others can follow them to a newly discovered food source.  Nothing will go to waste, they are ordered and precise, kind of like Germans of the insect world...
