A Joyful Noise

No Mellow Yellow, This

August 12, 2015 by Melodye Shore

Miss Dahlia looked fierce when she was younger–a seductive flash of danger in a field of otherwise demure blossoms. But her frock was showing its age. The once vibrant petals were weathered: whipped by ocean breezes, and bleached by the midday sun.

So she tarted things up a bit.

Oh, the allure of bright yellow!  “Come on…come in,” she said, and the honeybees did just that.
