Sad Bees

These are the bees that were left when I returned to the plane. Most blew off when I started it up. The remaining dozen stayed on until run-up (the engine is at 2,000 RPM for a few moments). There were two left who hopped off as I taxied to the transient parking area.

I used window cleaner on the canopy, but there were still a couple on it the following day. (Poor fellows, no idea where the Queen might have gone, they just return to the last place they knew her to be…)
