DO FAIRIES WORRY ABOUT SUCCESS?

Since bees go about their business of making honey day after day the main success they achieve is finding flowers and bringing nectar back to the hive to make honey.  I had never thought about success before I heard Marus and his sisters, Non Ton and Hilda, talk about being a success or failure in watching over some humans they were trying to help.  I guess when you can do a lot of different things in a lot of different ways you can have successes or failures.  Overhearing the fairies talk made me want to try a few things for myself.  Now I can fly in different patterns and can buzz with a little more variety.  Maybe tomorrow I will think of some more things I can try.  I had to have a few failures before I could learn how to do the things I was trying to do.  So I think that if those fairies would quit worrying they would be a lot better at helping humans.  Maybe the next time they try to help they will do a lot better.  I wonder if bees can be helpful.  Of course the honey we share is pretty wonderful.
I think I will go find some flowers and spend some time wondering about things as well.  Do you wonder about things?  Delbert Bee signing off till next time.

NEW DISCOVERIES ABOUT WAYS TO USE SPIDER SILK

Hilda was worrying about the way her brother, the fairy Marus had burned part of his wings.  If they were too damaged he would lose his ability to fly.  While she was looking for soothing and healing herbs to make a salve for his wings she ran into her friend, the spider Zenna.  Hilda already knew that Zenna was very creative with her webs.  Suddenly she thought that spider silk might used to mend the wings Marus had damaged by flying through a fire.  She got Zenna to give her a bunch of silk and was able to mend her brother's wings.  This gave Zenna a lot of ideas as well and she began to make all kinds of things with her weaving besides spider webs.  Ideas are wonderful things and lead to even more ideas.  I wonder if I can think of different ways to use honey. This is Delbert Bee here.  I'm going to buzz of now and think about honey.

STAR QUALITY FOUND IN HILDA THE FAIRY

Hilda is the sister of Marus, the fairy.  She is the star of the show wherever she is.  She is pretty with golden curly hair and she laughs a lot.  She thought Rosaquet was her friend but that turned out to be a mistake.  I, Delbert, tried to warn her about Rosaquet but Hilda wouldn't listen.  Hilda seems to be flighty and silly but she is really a very good person.  She is also very kind.  She doesn't try to hog attention it just seems to come to her.
I'm sure Hilda will have a lot of adventures in her life.

WHO PROVIDED MATERIAL TO REPAIR FAIRY WINGS?

A fairy's wings are precious beyond words.  Not only are they important to a fairy for flying.  They are also part of a fairy's beauty.  Marus was a courageous fairy who flew into a fire to rescue Lina from being incinerated even before she was born.  As a result his wings were damaged.  But Hilda, one of his sisters, had the idea to ask Zenna for some spider silk and she was able to repair his wings with that silk.  In the Thimblewyck stories there are many instances of Zenna's wonderful weaving being important in many ways.
