(translation: humans, could you please please please make us fingerless gloves (and flower crowns, if there are any flowers small enough to fit us) with your big opposable thumbs?)

consider this: bees with flower crowns. are the bees huge or are the flowers tiny? we may never know but at least they're cute.

( EDIT : turns out this ask was based on this text post ! )
