We went to the SPRING GARDEN SHOW at South Coast Plaza/Crystal Court. I had no Idea what a HUGE deal it was. There were SO many beautiful displays and plants. Honestly, the only reason I took Riley was to see the "Red Worms" in the kids area. But we ended up with some great idea's for our garden (wish me luck, I kill everything I try to plant) and watched an very interesting presentation about bee's. Here are a few things I learned...
* While a female solitary bee lays only a few eggs in her lifetime, a queen honeybee lays thousands.
*A male bee's only job is to mate with a female and the males die shortly after mating
* Most male bees do not even have the structures necessary to make wax or carry pollen, so males in social species cannot contribute to the daily work that goes on in the hive. In fact, female honeybees usually force surviving males out of the nest before winter or when food becomes scarce.
I thought this information was VERY funny! 
You may have noticed that halfway through the photo's Riley is wearing a new Track Suit... That's because there is an Adidas store in Crystal Court and when we went in Riley took off his clothes and put on a new outfit. Seriously, stripped right down to his undies and said "this one Mom"! If you aren't aware of Riley's love for track suits check out this old post
