The Work of Bees Last Fall Leads to Beautiful Flowers Now discusses the role of last year pollinators in helping to bring us crops and wildflowers this year. It shows readers one of the many types of bees found in Florida.

Eager Bee Last fall before the first frost, the area was crazy alive with bees. There were many different types of them stocking up on nectar and pollen to get them or their hive or nest through the winter. There were lots of flowers, especially blackjacks, that time of year. This was one of many bees that were buzzing around from flower to flower not only eating, but also carrying pollen…

Cricket Cat concept. Do you see it? Do you see my vision? I don't think they'd purr or meow, just chirp with their wings.

oh yeah, sorry.

a cutie mark is a thing from the show My Little Pony. it is a symbol that appears on ponies when they find their lives true calling. this typically happens when they are young but for some may take longer. there is actually a stigma around being a “Blank Flank” for too long, which is the name for a pony that doesnt have a cutie mark yet.

There are three types of ponies in MLP, Earth ponies, which are regular horses. Pegasus, which have wings. and Unicorns, which have horns and can wield magic.

even though only unicorns can wield magic, all types of pony contain magic. its theorized that pegasus can only fly because of magic, and that earth ponies are stronger due to magic, but this isnt really confirmed in the show. additionally, there is another kind of pony, an Alicorn. they contain the magic of all three types and are extremely rare and very powerful. Alicorns are created, and only one has been born in recorded history.

anyway. what is your cutie mark and what type of pony are you?
