    That would totally explain my feelings for wombats!?

    I’d pay for wombat kisses today.

      Oh, yeah.

    Yeah, but rabbits don’t make square poop. Just not as exciting. 😉

      Yeah, but the fact that it’s SMALL more than makes up for the lack of excitement–trust me!

        Gooooood point.

          Tara! I was thinking of you today – have you taken your beekeeping course yet? I get a Sierra Club Pennsylvania mag and they were talking about the difference between torpor and hibernation in various animals. Something they mentioned about bees is that in the winter the hive dies off and all that’s left is the queen and she goes into hibernation! So maybe your hive didn’t collapse, just did what it was supposed to do? Hope so. I do have some friends who tried to be beekeepers but there simply wasn’t enough vegetation in the city to support the colonies and they died.

            Thanks for asking Murray C! The bee class was so interesting. Did you know bees have 5 eyes? Yup 5. Two in front like everything normal, they see the same way that flies see – lots of facets. But then they have three on top of their heads that see polarized light. This is how they navigate and stay upright! (At least, that was what I took away from that lesson). This was the intro class: “Here’s what you need to purchase” and “Here’s how bees work/think/act/are amazing.” The next class isn’t until March – but I have homework: things to purchase, things to prep, and a reading assignment! Will keep you posted.

              Very cool – glad it went well!

              I recall a ‘National Geographic’ article with some aquatic creature (I forget – a jellyfish maybe?) that has a similar eye setup – some are for seeing, and some are just very basic light sensors so they can tell if they’re still in the mangrove swamp (where they live) or if they’re in danger of being swept away.

      Wait .. Don’t wombat .. err .. nevermind .. I don’t want this to become a crappy post.

      Unless it was a unicorn … I hear they poop rainbows.

        In cube shaped chunks?

        • tara February 1, 2017 / 10:35 pm

          Ach! If ONLY! 🙂

          • Murray C. February 1, 2017 / 11:00 pm

            Gee, they could be trained to poop Rubiks Cubes!

          • Faye February 2, 2017 / 8:01 am

            Someone would pay. I’m sure.
