Day 5 - Paint Fumes

I spent a long day helping the LL paint a garage. Afterwards I decided to relax by watching an episode of the X-Files on Netflix, while also wondering what the hell I'd do for today's bug-a-day challenge.

She works in a greenhouse and when asked via email what insect first came to mind, she wrote: "I think of BEES because I have been working in beeswax and I love what bees do and produce. Also, my coworker and I made a "Bee Spa" for all the fuzzy bumble bees that pass out on the ground (I think the colder temps make them sluggish?)...and we also have a "Bee Necropolis" where we lovingly put all the bees that have died." I was intrigued by both ideas - the spa and the necropolis, but decided I might have a better chance at depicting the spa.
