Storytime with Abel: Bee vs Red Ant

Posted on by

We here at Sprout and Share place a heavy emphasis on fostering the arts among America’s youth. Certainly, storytelling has always been a common theme across cultures and regions as a way to teach, entertain and keep history alive.

Today, Abel’s going to narrate a somewhat fictional account of two common garden visitors. It’s full of ups, downs and thinly veiled metaphors hinting at valuable life lessons. We hope to be able to continue this series as a way to promote artistic development in the community. Ideally, not all of these contributions will be about butts.

Abel’s Animal Advice: Bees

Posted on by

Bees help pollinate the flowers. Don’t be afraid of bees.  If you hurt them then they hurt you.  So…

Don’t hurt them!!!!!!

In fact, bees are pretty interesting:

  • Some bees don’t sting you, because they don’t have a queen to protect.
  • They can fly up to 20 mph.
  • They have five eyes to help them land on flowers.
  • Only female bees can sting.
  • Bees beat their wings over 10,000 times per minute. No wonder they are so loud.

Bees are cool. They help us a lot. So, next time you see one, say thank you!!!!!!!!!
