World Honey Bee Day!<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Rick made his way towards the hives, looking for his wayward Mate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He had just taken over as Vacherie’s Sheriff.\u00a0 Though he had worked with the former Sheriff, there was still so much to do, while settling into the position.\u00a0 \u00a0Unfortunately he had been neglecting his Mate.\u00a0 Rick didn’t like being away that long, and swore he hadn’t seen Daryl in over a week.\u00a0 He was also pretty sure little Bobbie wasn’t happy with his absence if the chewed up slipper, and giant shit in the other was an indication.\u00a0 Though he had to wonder how the hell something that small made something that big!<\/span><\/p>\n

He told the staff he was taking the day off, ignored the waggling eyebrows and kissing sounds.\u00a0 \u00a0Yes, he ran a tight knit mature group of people!<\/span><\/p>\n

Rick paused on the edge of the hives watching as Daryl moved around them, wearing some protective gear mostly around the face.\u00a0 Most of the bees were fluttering around, a few landing on the broad shoulders.\u00a0 \u00a0He glanced over to the side to see Bobbie on his back, spread eagle showcasing his bits to the world.\u00a0 There was a tiny mosquito net over him, like something one would see at a picnic to protect the food from flies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daryl gave him a side-eye.\u00a0 “Ya’ goin’ to come any closer?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Rick paused, but took a few more steps closer.\u00a0 Despite the years dealing with the bees, he wasn’t thrilled with the little guys.\u00a0 “There seems to be more.\u00a0 I know you lost some a while back.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Dr. Grissom and I figured a few things out, was able to secure the hive better.\u00a0 Plus Big Bobbie allowed us to put hives on his old plantation.\u00a0 Which made Nico happy as, that meant a Hunter could keep on eye on the place.\u00a0 Guess a decade or so ago, some Rogues used it as a hiding local.”\u00a0 Daryl took some of the honeycomb and put it in the container he had, leaving enough to go back in the hive to let the bees do their thing.\u00a0 “Its a good hideaway, the bees like the burned out plantation makes them feel important.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Rick smiled at the rambling.\u00a0 “You have any plans for after bee keeping?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“No.”\u00a0 He gave Rick a smirk.\u00a0 “Well maybe some Rick keeping.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The laughter, felt good and made Daryl grin.\u00a0 “I got you something.”\u00a0 He held out the small paper package.\u00a0 They weren’t the wrap in pretty bows type of people.\u00a0 But he had seen the brown bee paper and had to get it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daryl gave him a look, but smiled at the paper.\u00a0 He unwrapped it carefully, pulling out the t-shirt.\u00a0 It had a cartoon bee on it ‘World Bee Day: Bees are life’.\u00a0 “World Bee Day?”\u00a0 He asked holding the shirt up.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Today actually it’s a day to celebrate bees and educate the world on the small fact we need them.”\u00a0 Rick shrugged slightly embarrassed.\u00a0 “I saw the shirt figured you would enjoy it, make it more your own style.”\u00a0 As he knew his Mate really wasn’t the t-shirt and jeans type of guy, more like tanks and ripped shirts.\u00a0 “There’s something else.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Rick dug into the package laughing at the stuffed bee.\u00a0 “This for Bobbie?”\u00a0 There was a snort and a loud fart, they both looked over at the sleeping Yorkie.\u00a0 “Once he wakes from his nap.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Speaking of naps.”\u00a0 Rick waggled his eyebrows making his Mate laugh.\u00a0 “Sadly, I actually mean a nap.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Old man.”\u00a0 Daryl pulled off the helmet and gear, setting to the side, then reached over and scooped up the slumbering dog.\u00a0 “I think we can all use a nap.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Then we can go into town for dinner, and maybe more.”\u00a0 Rick leaned over and gave him a quick kiss.\u00a0 “Let Speed pup sit.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’ll be thrilled!” Daryl pulled Rick closer, kissing him deeply.\u00a0 “Naps first.”<\/span><\/p>\n

After some adjustments he proudly wore his bee shirt into town, while Bobbie carried his stuff bee with pride!<\/span><\/p>\n
