Clue/Question:  The bees were in no hurry to finish making honey and wanted to take – – – 

Answer:  THEIR SWEET TIME

(I used to post the “spoilers” pretty early in the morning.  Then they started going up a little later, and some folks really started complaining.  I always offered them a full refund, but . . . Then, after a while, I decided to take my sweet time!  They could get their answers from one of those other sites.  I don’t mind.

All of today’s clue words are on the ralis95 clue word database.  However, all of the jumbles are coming up as new, for me.  I will not eat “tripe”!  I’m sure that some people must like it, but I don’t know any of them.  The answer letter layout was a fantabulous fourteen letter jumble!  I thought it was wonderfully cryptic.  But the leading nature of the clue/question made for a very quick solve.

Fun cartoon of the queen bee, in the throne room of the hive.  I liked the honeycomb backdrop.  And I get why the queen is wearing a crown.  But why are all the worker bees wearing baseball caps???  Is that the official head-wear of the proletariat, or something???  Cute scepter.  Fun Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“As soon as I saw you, I knew a grand adventure was going to happen.“   —   A.A. Milne, “Winnie the Pooh”

(In my newspaper, the word “grand” comes up as “guand”, because the second letter was an “F” when it should have been an “L”.  How about your newspaper???  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
