The other day, I found a bumblebee asleep on a flower.
At the beginning of the school year, I had a lot of flowers in bloom in my garden. So, I decided to take some to school to have on my desk in my office.
So, I went outside in the morning to cut some sunflowers and coneflowers, and I discovered a surprise: some bumblebees were asleep inĀ my sunflowers.
I researched it and discovered that bumblebees sleep in flowers a lot.
And it makes sense–they combine their food source, shelter from the elements, and cozy place to rest for a while.
If I could sleep in a flower, I would, too.
This new fact I discovered was delightful, and it inspired this painting.
