The title is not incorrect! The Bee was not careful. In this documentary of an event that occurred November 21st, 2018, the subject was not careful. There was a human sitting on his ole rocker with a cup of coffee. It was early afternoon and this human was enjoying the warm sun that was causing his back to relax. There seemed to be no difficulties facing this human, he had a hot cup of black coffee. “Black” is important as we proceed with the unfolding of this event.
The human had taken a couple sips from the coffee cup and was enjoying the quiet afternoon. There was no traffic, there was no children screaming and playing in the area, just a peaceful, quiet, warm afternoon.
This day seemed to be just perfect for a fall day. The wind was not blowing which is very unusual and the temperature was in the high 60s. Nothing on this human’s agenda other than to enjoy the cup of coffee.
In almost a state of quiet meditation, this human turned his head toward the cup as he reached for another sip of that wonderful black coffee.
Suddenly the human stopped. There was something on the handle of his cup. There was some type of bug on his coffee cup handle. What could this bug be doing, attempting to take the humans coffee? The bug moved into view and the human could see, it was a Honey Bee. What would attract a Bee to a cup of black coffee? There is nothing sweet there, possibly it was the warmth of the cup that had the bee’s attention. Click on the photo to see the Bee better.
The human still had his camera in hand hoping to get a better photo of the bee. The bee flew around the cup a couple times before landing a second time. He / she was very interested in something about this cup of black coffee, as the bee was on the top edge, slightly to the inside of the cup.
The human decided to wave his hand near the Bee in hopes of the bee leaving. After all, the human did not want to be drinking from a cup where a Bees nasty feet had been. Who knows what that bee had been walking in, or on?
This Bee was persistent, it returned to the cup as if it thought the cup was now his / hers to do with as he / she sees fit. The bee ventured further down into the cup. The human was now beginning to become upset. Humans do not like to share with bugs even if they are Honey Bees.
The Bee was not being careful. It fell into the coffee. Seeing this the human had compassion while at the same time was becoming very upset. Quickly the human dumped the coffee and the bee out on the ground. The bee was wet but still moving around. The human cannot verify that the bee dried off and flew away, we hope so.
Bee careful with your cup of coffee!
