Despite the cold, a thickening certainty in the birdsong, like reaching a setting point.

I was unfamiliar with the word propolis, Lucy, and went to Wikipedia for a definiton. There I learned it is the tree and bud sap. You have contributed to my intellectual edification; thank you.

Hello Martha!
I like to edify!(In fact I just mistyped that as 'deify', which seems to offer interesting possibilities...). It's the waxy stuff on certain spring leaves, which bees gather to make into beeswax. I didn't know about that until I became aware of large quantities of bees in early spring working on the leaves of our laurel hedges, and learned that was what they were doing.
Ah! I misunderstood what I read. Of course; sap probably wouldn't work - too sticky.
:D
