Mornin’ folks. We’ve had a lot of people enquiring about and commenting on #bumblebees asleep on #flowers, especially at this time of year, so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on. Please retweet so more are more informed. Thanks good people. #bees 1/16

That X is ugly design, that does it. I can't handle one more new platform like bluski or threads etc. I think I'll just be that obnoxious person you have to follow via their old-fashioned websites from now on. Find me on radioblackbirdillustrations.com polifinario.net
