birds and bees

 

Seeing a bullfinch signifies good luck, new beginnings, love and divine messages
Seeing a male and female bullfinch side by side is indeed divine
sidenote:  Eurasian bullfinches don't make it as far as Canada, except for one who was found, with great excitement, in November '25 up in Yukon.

apis mellifica is actually made from the honey bee (apis mellifera) and is used to treat bee stings
