i love you calling her "she" - getting close & personal.
Males rarely leave the hive and only live long enough to perform their one function. They mate with the queen and then die. Females do all of the work.
As for getting close, she landed on me, I just let her go about her business and go on her way.
@JimG, i know all that - just trying to be funny ?
@walklightly Okay. No offense was intended.
