If you want to talk to bees.
 

Build a flower garden.

you mean "at" unless you want to invest in infrastructure which will produce self-aware bees

Implying that's possible when attempts thus, merely draws the stinger.

and welcome back :)

The bees never sting me. Nor do the wasps. Wonder if it's my physiology or that I like certain flowers they love, or just familiarity, smell, I am one of the hive? We had a stranger here and the wasps didn't like them at all. I sent no attack commands or fear signals. Not overtly.

You are right though, talk at them.

I've had them rest on or near me. They seem to consider me harmless.

The bees talk. They let me know it's safe somehow. They also say they are happy. I absolutely refuse to harm them.

I let several brocollini plants go to flower this past month.

They seem to like it.

Interesting sidenote: after flowering, brocollini gets sweeter.

Where have you been friend?
