Intrepid drone Honey Bee failed to return from his last mission. Relentless in his pursuit of nectar, he covered a wide swath seeking out late blooming flowers. Finding a rare trove of cosmos in the Waubesa Street region, he gathered the precious food. Unfortunately he underestimated the rapidly deteriorating conditions, and the sharp drop in temperature caught him unawares. Still laden with a load for the hive, he found himself unable to clear the petals and fly home. His persistence and determination will be sorely missed by the entire hive. May the Goddess welcome him to the land of blooms and honey.
Last Flight of the Honeybee
UPDATE: To paraphrase the great Mark Twain, rumors of Honey Bee's demise have been greatly exaggerated. It turns out that Honey Bee - using skills that will make his trainers proud - managed to suspend animation for the night and survive the near-frigid conditions. As the morning sun finally kissed the plant from which he had been harvesting, his vital signs returned to normal and H. Bee resumed his duties.
Late Harvest
Carry on, Honey Bee. Well done!
