My first Colorado "frienemy."

I'd like to introduce you all to Shower-Bee. He was the first thing I really was introduced to.

My very first shower here, I noticed SB relaxing on the blinds. He was cordial (as most bees' are, you know...) and we exchanged terrifying introductions.

After that, him and I became ole pals, but never could quite trust eachother.

He, well, was a bee.

I am something 100,000 times his size.

You really cannot blame us for being stand-offish.

It has been 18 days since we met, but tragically today I was faced with the pain of saying goodbye...

SB had nearly passed away and was found on the floor of the shower.

In my attempts to revive SB, I frantically fed him some Vernors ginger ale in hopes of getting him "back in the air."

All attempts failed, and moments later SB made his last flutter of his wings...

Farewell old frienemy. You will and will not be missed.

Rest in peace in your "Honey Comb Heaven."

SB is now moving again...and at the hint of a slice of lime, SB was actually getting a bit frisky!

 

Hallelujiah!!!

 

Praise the Bee Gods!!!!

 

SB has a second chance at....

 

 

...stinging me while I shower...

 

 

Great.
