It's been such a busy weekend at the Maker Faire. So early this morning, on this last day of the Maker Faire, I drew some busy bees before we headed out.

Here's an in progress shot.

I couldn't resist trying these Integer Partitions with bees. I figured partitions of three might fit on a page in my sketchbook. They barely fit. Ended up with some overlapping wings in today's #inkyDays drawing.

A video I really enjoyed filming. I love watching bees. Normally they stay busy and I just film, but this time many #bees actually started coming to my phone and flying about my head. Nothing bad happened, but they checked me out.

The cactus is a #SanPedroCactus or #EchinopsisPachanoi I believe. It's in front of my house in the parkway. Just a piece of cactus I stuck in the ground. #Gardening is like magic sometime.

If you look, though it's blurry, you can see one of my #HarrisForPresident election signs in the background thought it's not my #HarrisObviously one :)

Hey friends, Do you want to help with scientific research?
The University of Colorado Boulder needs people to help transcribe bee information from photographs of their collection. You look at a picture and type out any of the written information in the bee's label.

If you've got a few free minutes, give it a whirl! Even just doing 1 or 2 will help

So there's this Greek myth that says Zeus was fed by bees when he was born. In gratitude, he blessed them with the color of "shining bronze", and made them immune to cold and harsh winds. These bees lived in Zeus' sacred cave in Crete, and aggressively chased away anyone who tried to steal their honey.

Any #apiarist or #entomology expert out there who could tell me what these bees are by any chance?...
