As we were about to discuss the stages and glue on the sections for the bee, my hubby came in the front door and left it open (as he was going to turn around in just a few mins. to go back out) and wouldn't you know-a giant, giant bumble bee decided he would present himself as a living example of his species. There he was, buzzing around and making a bee line for the fruity-flower scented candle in the dining room. I mean he was a big bumbler! The boys (meaning son and dad) grabbed the handy dandy bug catching nets and quickly snared him in it. He was then swiftly hustled out the back door and left to figure out where he was in the world [which was our backyard]. Now, sure, we could have placed him in a container and spent some time examining him. To look over all of his bumbly body and 6 legs, 4 wings and massive head, thorax and abdomen. But we didn't. We figured he was already discombobulated enough.
Mind you, this is the very bumbler who buzzed around me all day on Easter, as I sat outside trying to absorb some vitamin D. He has a real liking for our front porch area and I suspect he decided it was time to take a look about the insides of this place. So I am sure he will present himself again somewhere down the road.
I love how little things like this happen and tie in perfectly, exactly as we were studying the very subject. Just a funny BEEdazzling way the Lord presented a great moment for our homeschool science class.
