It&#8217;s across town, it&#8217;s expensive and it is hard to find a parking place there.  But there is an attraction to the place, it is called &#8220;The Golden Bee&#8221;  and every time one stops in the bartender will throw an embroidered bee at one.   Now most of the time it is just a regular bee, but they do feature a number of special bees throughout the year.   And I try to show up for a pint on those special days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"858\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees5-1024x858.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees5-1024x858.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees5-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees5-768x644.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this is the very newest bee.  In fact I got the first ones that they handed out.   They have a big space symposium every year, all sorts of government types and defense contractors show up, so they make this special bee to commemorate the event.   I had to get these before the conference started because the place is packed while all these free-spenders show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees-1024x726.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees-1024x726.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees-768x544.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These bees are from:  a big conference (they will make a special bee if your event is big enough), St. Patrick&#8217;s Day (no green beer is served here), Christmas and the Senior golf tournament from last summer (it was on TV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees1-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees1-1024x695.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees1-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees1-768x521.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is what I usually do with the bees, I put them on the dashboards of my cars (the rocket bees are from previous Space Symposiums).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees4-937x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees4-937x1024.jpg 937w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees4-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees4-768x839.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They do end up all over the house, these ones are in my sewing room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"762\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees2-762x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees2-762x1024.jpg 762w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees2-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees2-768x1033.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is the lamp in my bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"805\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees3-805x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees3-805x1024.jpg 805w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees3-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bees3-768x978.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And these bees are hanging out in the dining room.   There are so many bees in my collection that you might be thinking that I go there an awful lot (really, I don&#8217;t).  But, these bees represent years and years of stopping in (also it&#8217;s a lovely place to take out-of-town guests).   So I won&#8217;t actually have to go there again until July 4th, Halloween and Christmas.   Hopefully by then they will have a new delicious cider on tap.   \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know by now that you are wondering why I bother to stop in at the pub.
