BEE FRIENDLY - A Honey Bee approaches a dew-laden Fennel flower head. The pattern in Fennel flower heads is generated by the mathematic sequence - the Fibonacci Sequence - which is also seen in the spiraling patterns of seeds in a sunflower, the scales of a pinecone, the unfurling of a growing fern and the chambers of a nautilus shell.
