There was a bee buzzing around in the plastic clamshell package of squash blossoms when I picked it up at the farmer's market this morning. Naturally, I opened the container and set it free. Then I decided to buy those blossoms, since they were the plumpest, which is why I picked them up in the first place.
As I carried them to the line, I caught the eye of another shopper who had witnessed the whole episode. "I had to let it go!" I shrugged. "And these were the best ones."
"And you know they're pollinated," she laughed.
