Yesterday I noticed there was a little bee on the inside of the kitchen window screen. Maybe it was a wasp. Hard to tell because it was so small but I think it was a bee.
It was just sitting there. A few hours later I came back and it apparently hadn't moved at all.
This morning it was still there. Same place.
I was wondering, what is this bee thinking, anyway? Well, I know a bee doesn't really think, per se, but I wondered if it had any concept of time. On top of that I wondered if it wasn't getting hungry. Maybe something is running through its little brain, recharging it or doing some other maintenance function.
I see other animals motionless for long periods and wonder the same thing, if they have a concept of time.
On the other hand maybe animals look at people staring at a television for hours on end and wonder the same thing about those people.
In my previous post I mentioned how I am on "temporary retirement." Maybe that bee was on the same status? I sure wouldn't want to spend retirement that way, though. At least in the evening the bee was gone so I hope it found a way to get out of the house.
