Summer is in full swing and bees are out in force.
Street stalls, the public market and many small shops are wide open to the street.
The other day, I went into the local bakery to buy fresh rolls (bolillos.)
There were 30 or so bees hovering over the pasteries which are all on open serve-yourself racks and flitting around the cafe area where people were enjoying their coffee and cake.
When I took my purchase up to the register I asked, "Doesn't anyone ever get stung?"
The girl answered, "No, they're all old friends, when one of them dies, we have a funeral mass," with a big smile on her face.
I guess they're so fat, satisfied and feel so unthreatened they don't care.
