Bees and Honey

I was reading to Liam, my youngest grandson, out of a book about animals and insects the other day and there was a photo of a bee in a hive making honey. He was quite intrigued with it so we got the honey container from the kitchen and proceeded to show him the real thing. He knows bees from his time spent outdoors and gets a little annoyed when they buzz around him but is not paranoid about them. But now, there was connection between bees and honey. I put a bit on my finger and licked it and thought he would want to try some too. He would have no part in it. The funny thing is that he has honey on his toast in the mornings.

He was right beside me and watching with great interest when I took this photo this summer.
