Save the Bees!

PHOTO PROMPT ยฉ Trish Nankeville 

Close-ups were the only photographs I felt comfortable taking. I thrived on the details and loved not having to worry about composing a background. Lately I had become obsessed with flowers because I had attended a program at the local library about the declining bee population. I was hoping my photographs would bring back an interest in saving bees and nature, but if my father heard what I was into he would flip. He was a climate change denier and especially loved expanding on his ideas the Earth was flat and astronauts werenโ€™t real. He needed to learn the truth.ย

    It is hard to resist a beautiful flower. Well done.

    As for the flat earthers and conspiracy theorists, what can I say?

    I’d like more bees, and I want them now. Climate control? I don’t understand how.

    Hmm… family politics can be a tricky topic. I hope your MC continues on their own path to enlightenment, even if Dad has to be left behind.

    Very interesting character study that covers a lot of territory in 100 words.

    I have severe–not deadly, but severe–reactions to bee stings. I’m afraid of them. However, I acknowledge their importance and they are truly fascinating to study.

    I am sure some people only follow their mad ideas to annoy others and get attention.
