Missing! - Bonaventure Bee, my brother

My name is Bloodhound Bee. My brother Bonaventure has been missing since August of 2015. 5 years and no word. I am determined to find out his current location, whether he be dead or alive.

I am setting out from Rochester New York, USA to make my way to TLEAW3D7 where Bonaventure was last discovered. Perhaps I will find clues there to lead me to him - or his fate. I can only hope.

Bonaventure made many friends in his travels, and I hope that we will find others who will also become our friends and help us on our mission.

I am determined to bring this story to a proper end. Here is Bonaventure's original mission and statement - I only hope that good luck is still his namesake, and that life has treated him well. The book may still happen, we shall see.

"Bonaventure Bee isn't satisfied working with the other bees in the hive. He's determined to see the world, and to explore and experience life like no other bee before him! Bonaventure had decided to take a trip. A wonderful journey that begins with just one step. To see the world! To visit strange wonderful lands! To hob-nob with the rich and famous, the poor and destitute, and all those in-between... Everywhere!!!! Please take Bonaventure to strange and far-off places, and share your adventures with him. Oh, and he's quite photogenic. (And a bit of a ham) So feel free to take pictures of the places and people he visit with. Someday, Bonaventure hopes to write a book about his journies and the people he meets. What a dreamer!"

Bonaventure is leaving home on the 4th of July, 2008. This is the day America celebrates it's independence from Britain, and it's his own "independence day" as well, so he feels it's appropriate. Bonaventure's name means "lucky", and he's hoping that will keep him safe as he travels. He's always ready for some excitement, so let's hope that his name suits him well!
