2011, Day 263 - Candy

There is something about the colors of the flower the bee is feeding on that reminds me of peppermints.  I think the flower is a dahlia variety called "Christmas Star" which might account for some of my interpretation.  It is nice to see my hymenoptera dry again so that he can be on his merry way.
