Free Bee With Purchase

I bought a box of raspberries and there in the bottom was a small, dead honeybee. I guess when they say "organic", they mean it. Rather than waste the bee, I put it on a towel and took some close-ups of it, because how often can you flip a bee over to take a photo of the underside? I also learned that their abdomens are not solid, but have overlapping sections, like armor. That was a surprise, and they have long, reddish tongues. I knew they were furry from when I was a little kid and tried to pet one. The fur is soft, but bees don't like to be petted.
