If you are going to drink beer in Alberta this month, make it Banded Peak Brewery’s Tallgrass Tango wheat mango ale. For every taproom pint that’s sold, the brewery gives $1 to the Alberta Native Bee Council.

I am hoping to personally raise $100 this weekend!

First full day of summer in Calgary and it ( checks his notes ) feels like minus 3 degrees at 10 am. #YYC #Calgary

Trump, for a limited time only, is also including the Brooklyn Bridge!

My new queen bee. She hasn’t chosen her name yet.

Myopic arrogance resulting from an abject lack of thought and education.

With Alberta’s separatist rhetoric, corporations are looking for more stable provinces to operate in. Expect belt buckle and cowboy hat production to shift to Ontario in the near future.

It’s not a joke.
It’s a problem.

Canada filling the gap.

There is a small, light-coloured honey bee center stage. She looks sick, but she is not.

She is just emerged from her cell, not more than an hour earlier, and will look like the other bees in a couple of days.

It’s an exciting sight of spring when ‘baby bees’ make their appearance!

Well, he has a point. Every now and then, a person drawing a government paycheque for 20 years needs a performance review.

Danielle Smith is flying to south Florida to audition for her next job. Wishing her lots of luck during her employment interview!

Spring is almost here in Calgary. Actually, this picture is from June last year, but one can hope, eh?

According to the Narwhal, the US is being wooed by the charming Ms Smith.

If Canada is the 51st state, then Alberta becomes a county, and Smith becomes the County Commissioner. Has a certain amount of humility, doesn’t it?

World’s smallest bee? I looked around for the corresponding world’s smallest flower, but didn’t find it. This was is at Amphoe Bang Lamung - Nong Pla Lai, Thailand.
The bees were like little flying dots.

Trump appears to have violated US federal law during his first week. Luckily, his Supreme Court has given him presidential immunity against crimes committed in office.

Africanized honey bee, working rosemary in San Diego yesterday. Meanwhile, it’s minus 22 this morning here in Calgary. Photo taken and teasingly sent to me by my sister.
Notice the pollen already collected by this #bee!

Something we can learn from #bees. These are honey bees. They don’t cry over spilled honey. They clean it up.

The woman received a sentence: “Bad woman.”
But I hope the photographer received a Pulitzer or some British equivalent.

He simply has no social graces, does he?

Here is Trump’s special Christmas message to the world. Ranks right up there with his other great cheerful missives, and includes at least four misstatements.

Calgary.
7h55m of daylight.
Hope the days get longer again soon.

No, you are brilliant. On the other hand, I am unlucky.
