Hidden Treasures

We have flowers at our house.  I mean not just a couple of marigolds; No, we have flowers of all kinds and all colors in all seasons.  We have beautiful flowers.  Flowers that just amaze me when I look at them.  Yet, rarely do I find bees on our flowers.  I do see them, I do, but not as much as you would think.  I mean we have so many beautiful flowers that are so close to the bees.
One day I was walking through our yard and all of the sudden I heard the sound.  Alarms went off in my head, oh yeah, I know that sound.  That's the sound of a bee swarm - Quick, Where are they?  Are they coming for me again?  I looked up and I mean holy Mackerel there were what seemed like 1000s of bees in these trees.  But these trees did not have any flowers - or did they?  I was confused but I got out of there because there were a ton of bees around.  Later, I plucked the flower to inspect what could possible draw so many bees.  It didn't look attractive, cool, or even remotely beautiful.  Yet, the bees found it magnificent and far superior to anything else we have.  How could this bee?  What makes the bees choose this flower out of all the flowers?  Why?  Why is it so special?  Go ahead and take a look for yourself - we have pink cone flower, cannons, hibiscus, marigolds, geraniums, and many more.

I bet you didn't even notice the little green one in the middle.

That's the one they love.

I suppose this supports the old saying, It's not what is on the outside but what's on the inside.  Also, remember to take time to notice the little hidden treasures of life that we so carelessly glance over not knowing the power and beauty it beholds.
