Bee on a swing


This weather bee is installed in front of a house near us. The owners sell honey but I've yet to try some -- must do something about that soon. The legend on the frame reads:
Biene trocken = schönes Wetter || Bee dry = nice weather
Biene nass = Regen || Bee wet = rain
Biene weiss = Schnee || Bee white = snow
Biene schaukelt = Windig || Bee swinging = windy
Biene am Boden = Erdbeben || Bee on the ground = earthquake
Biene verschwunden = Diebstahl?! || Bee missing = theft?!

For a look at the whole thing, there's my overflow site:
Swinging bee, the whole story

Doesn't look like a very good forecasting tool, does it? At least it's accurate!

Bee drowned = flood!

Hilarious! But it reminds me of our local weather forecasters ;-)

Now go, get some honey - it's good for you!
