my bees seem to be a bit sharp

I was listening to a bee buzz while it feasted on the thyme yesterday. I thought it sounded like a C flat, but apparently a pollen collecting bee hums closer to 246 hz, which is B below middle C. Is my hearing off today or are my bees a little sharp? Who can say? I thought it was kinda interesting, anyway.

Last night we caught The National at the 9:30 Club (the midnight show). Then we got up early for an Artomatic coffee-meeting at the site before we opened to artists for the final two days of installation (read: bedlam). Then I came home and went back to bed for a couple hours. Now I’m going to drool and finish knitting this sweater and watch the Land of the Lost marathon my Tivo, Overlord 2, scooped up for me from SciFi.

I might get really crazy and go stare at the flowers in my garden. (currently: 5 types of roses, several thymes, lavender, some sort of iris that blooms all summer, amazing carnations, daisies, pansies, lamb’s ears, and gerbera daisies).

I’m sad to report that you can’t check yourself in and out of the Federal witness protection program like it was some sort of day-spa or rehab center, so I’m just going to settle for turning off my phone for the afternoon. See you tomorrow….

*That was a joke, I was just guessing the bees were buzzing at around a middle C and was surprised to look it up and see that it was probably true.
