*UPDATE* (24 June 2006) IF LOGGING BEE'S PLEASE PLACE HER IN A CACHE THAT WILL START HER JOURNEY BACK TO GEORGIA. Thanks and happy caching! Cave Crawler and Naturegirl..........
What a honey of a deal to be able to buzz around looking at the best, and most desirable, "cache-hives" around the country. I particularly like the ones that are near flowers or are in some way connected to flowers either through words, pictures, symbols, names, locations, etc. Because you see I need all the energy I can get for the many adventures I am sure to fly into along the way.
"Bee" sweet to me by "beeing" safe, while taking me to my new hive(s). I don't want to swarm, so "bee" kind by sharing details of my adventures with others. And of course "bee" happy while geocaching!
Since I am also the Georgia State Insect I would like come back to the "hive" I started from, or one near it, after I have visited all 50 states (and maybe a few other places in between).

The bee’s knees informally means the best, the most desirable. How did the saying originate?
It’s one of a set of nonsense catch-phrases that originated in North America in the 1920s, the period of the flappers, nearly all of which compared some thing of excellent quality to a part of an animal. Bees carry pollen back to the hive in sacs on their legs. The allusion is to the concentrated goodness to be found around the bee's knee.
You might have also heard from this period such curious concoctions as cat’s meow, elephant’s adenoids, bullfrog’s beard, gnat’s elbows, monkey’s eyebrows, cat’s whiskers, and dozens of others. Only a very few have survived, of which bee’s knees is perhaps the best known.
