Okay, not a bee, but I saw this HUGE spider in our yard recently so had to share it. The below picture is Argiope aurantia, or a Yellow Garden Spider. It created a beautiful web behind our pool, just sitting amongst the Lamb’s Ear waiting for lunch. I’m not really into spiders, and was a little freaked out. Wikipedia says it is harmless to non-allergic humans, so it must be true.

Since we’ve been discussing scientific classifications, spiders are in the Class Arachnida, while bees and other insects are in the Class Insecta.

May you prosper and find honey.
