When I was little Biene Maja was on TV. She was a curious bee, had a friend who was a bit clumsy and not the brightest, Willi, and a grass hopper named Flip. The introducing song was fun and sung by Karel Gott.
Here is a link, English was not available, but in Portuguese it was.
There is no artist - this is again at the old Market Hall on my way home - but the name of the pear, German "Birne" is Maja - sounds nearly the same, Birne and Biene and made me smile big.
Not really artistic, but clever, huh? Here is the song, meet Maja, Willi, Flip and some other bug - see, the importance of bees was known already in the 1970´s:

Highway to Hell: Spooky Stories from Route 66
For many people, a road trip on the Mother Road, the legendary Route 66 in the United States, is a dream vacation. The route stretches from Illinois to California, and the rolling and ever-changing landscapes, the small and large towns along the way, and the simple joy of driving on one of the longest roads in the world make for a perfect adventure. Unfortunately, you can get more than just a thrill on Route 66. The legendary highway is infamous for its ghosts and winds through some supernaturally shady areas. For some, this might make the trip even more tempting, but for others, it might be a reason to forgo the trip altogether."
See more tomorrow...
Our parents gave me money to travel Australia (we lived in the car, we were cheap, Ingo and I) and Mom gave my lille Bro a trip on a motorbike on Route 66 in the United States.
He never went. He feared his English is not good enough.
Do you have any idea how much I wanted to slap him in the face?
(I didn´t live at home anymore at the time and learned only later).
A dream he just threw away out of fear.
And I bet. I DO BET. Whatever "bad" your English is... people would make an effort to help you... right? I helped raising my Brother. And obviously did a bad job.
He turns 48 soon. Slap him then?
Bee Maja sure would´ve hopped on the plane and bike!
The countdown to Creep:
Limpy organized another vehicle, a train!!!
We´ll soon hop on again, too, Ingo got this one:
We have our Transperth Smart Rider tickets ready!

Good one.
Thank you! So not "too German"!
...Iris, "bee" happy and well!
Same to you :-) Must add our doormat!
I've never let my poor other than English language skills keep me home. You manage to get by, don't you. And those make wonderful stories when you get home. I've driven only on a small part of route 66, but I'd love to drive more of it. And what a cute little bee. I think it's a super idea to make kids more in touch with nature and have sympathy for bees/ insects. Is it still on? Have a super start to the week. hugs-Erika
Yes, and you would help if someone´s English wasn´t "top notch", right?
I sure would love to drive that road, too!
Still on, the show? These times kids have "TV on demand" I´ve learned... Kinda sad, rituals get lost. So far a great new week, hope yours, too. hugs!
What a cute bee, Iris.
Sweet cartoon and I think the pun is very clever.
Thank you, RedPat, she was my companion, growing up :-)
Yup, must´ve been someone at least my age, LOL.
That's a cute one, Iris!
I remember Maja the Bee. It was my kid's favourite when they were growing up in Germany. Cute mural :) Very silly of your brother not to do the trip. I wonder if he regrets it. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.
Bee... ing cute.
Yes, I thought you remember Maja :-)
Well. I have no idea - despite we are siblings we are not much alike! I hope he does not regret having chosen to pass - it´s too late anyways...
I have been on Route 66 when we took a tour many years ago to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas.
This is fantastic, dear friend Iris!!! Thank you 😊 And Henry is beautiful. Warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love. 💖
I worry about travel too, because the only language I know is English, but these days there is always someone in almost every country that also speaks English, so it wouldn't be so bad, but also I have no money for travel overseas anywhere.
Very cool!
Thank you, dear friend Linda 😘 To pears and bees, well, and butterflies for Henry, warm hugs and much love your way 🧡
No need to worry, really. Here you can buy one breadroll via credit card, no money needed! And even in the 1990´s I found English-speaking people in Egypt! I bet you always find friendly people for help.
Birne Maja looks just like an Avocado. So cute.
