So the tallest monster is up to 55" in height today; doesn't have a name but I may call him "Shorty". Or I guess it might be a her.
Speaking of the birds and the bees . . . this past week I sat down one time and was watching a bumble bee sidle up to a few of the blue wildflowers that have started coming through.
So the bee would come up to the blue flower, and stick his head up into the flower, and then clamp on his landing hooks, and the bee was so heavy relative to the flower that it would bend over about 3-4 inches; then it would spring back up as the bee went on his way to the next flower.
As I understand it, according to scientists, aeronautical engineers and entomologists, the bumble bee is simply not supposed to be able to fly period. It's wings are simply too small relative to the size of the body. But the bumblebee evidently doesn't keep abreast of the latest scientific "discoveries" and happily flies along, defying the laws of science.
