<grin> - The reason the bees don't get all over the blue part (which is the
color they're really attracted to) is that, being the hull, it's underwater.
It all stems from their flower preferences - all the self-respecting bees in
these parts definitely prefer our state flower, the blue forget-me-not, over
pedestrian yellow dandelions.

I need to go for a paddle!
