Delbert is a busy bee who likes to gossip. He tries to make sure all the inhabitants of Thimblewyck know what is going on. His version anyway. He like to tell about the stories written by Donna Ellison. He ranges outside of Thimblewyck at times. He loves to repeat scandals and secrets and make guesses. Enjoy his buzz.

WHO WILL TELL ME ABOUT THE CAVERNS?
I keep hearing about the vast network of caverns in the mountain on which Windom castle is built. Bees do not like to fly into caves. I have heard about fairies going into the caverns to find out what is going on down there. I will share some of the richest honey in all of Umberland with whoever tells me more about these caverns. This one picture that I was provided shows me that water was influential in forming the caverns. I wonder how many entrances there are into these caves and how big they are. I wonder if anybody knows. I know some people who make wine like to age and store their wine in caves because of the constant cool temperature. Are they useful? Are they a hideout for evil creatures to do evil things? Who knows? I, Delbert Bee, would like to know more. I'll be buzzing at you later. I see some bright flowers nearby so I have to leave now.

WHO FIRST KNEW OF GERDA'S COOKIES?
Now everyone in Thimblewyck has learned to love Gerda's cookies. I, Delbert Bee, have even landed on one of them and taken in a bit of the sweetness. Sometimes the creatures around here argue amongst themselves about who was the first, after Gerda's husband Tom or course, to know how wonderful the cookies are. Even the fairies come to eat cookies. So I did some research and I found out that Thor, the big farm horse, used to help Tom eat the cookies Gerda would send with him when he went to the fair to sell eggs and produce. I think he was the first to know about the cookies. But it might not be so. Adar, the swallow just told me that she had always tried to get some of the crumbs of the cookies. If anyone else has a claim to be the first to love Gerda's cookies they can give me a buzz. They certainly are yummy. Maybe Gerda invented cookies. I heard they were just little dots of dough put in the oven to see if the oven was good and hot at first. I do know that a lot of people and a lot of creatures are very glad the world has cookies. I must be hungry. I'm going to go hunt for some kind of snack. Buzz at you later. Delbert.
