Happy Friday! It's a beautiful spring day outside in Colorado, despite the *COUGH* snowday of just two days ago!
It's also Illustration Friday! (applause*applause). This week's prompt is "linked". You may think fences, you may think world wide web, you may think chains, you may think handcuffs - if you're into that sort of thing...
I'm thinking honeybees.
Behold the industrious honeybee, buzzing from flower to flower, collecting pollen and thereby reproducing the plants thereby feeding the animals, which thereby reproduce themselves thereby feeding us humans, which thereby reproduce to consume even more!
Consume consume. We're the top of the meticulously linked food chain and we couldn't do it without honeybees.
Have you hugged a honeybee today?

Nice Honeybee.
The real ones are dying off, the ramifications of which are yet to be realized.
Has anyone told you that you have some serious talent there? I love the detail on the bee and flower. VERY detailed, precise.
And I get the "link" illustration. Very subtle. Very nice. Bravo.
What a lovely bee and flower! You are so good!
I love your detail on the bee, exquisite
aw, I love this bee pic!
Beautiful piece, I love the detail on the bee.
not to put to fine a point on it, say i;m the only bee in your bonnet.
Not sure if that is not appropriate, I never did know what that song is about.
Beautiful and great detail.

Hurrah for bee! I am a fan of bees! (to teach us not to be scared of them my father used to let them crawl all over his hands when my brother and I were little)
