@ Karen,I had an experience with a bee when I was sitting in my backyard.
I was sipping hot,ginger tea. It had lots of ginger in it.
Suddenly a bee comes and sits on my mug of tea. it sticks out a very slender straw like structure from its mouth and starts sipping the tea. it was a proboscis of course. i was quite fascinated by the capillary action of this slender straw like structure.
The bee seemed to enjoy the tea . Though later on when it flew off , i saw it nose diving several times.
i was very honored to have Tea with a Bee!!
