Thesaurus Thursday: "Dumbledore."

No, not Albus Percival Wulfric Brian.

"Dumbledore" is an old-fashioned word for bumblebee!  (Also, did you know that the stars Bellatrix and Sirius are respectively known as the "female warrior" and the "dog star"?


We were worried that the dog would get stung by a dumbledore, because there was a loud buzzing coming from the large bed of daffodils in the yard near her favorite resting place.

"Busy as a dumbledore" doesn't have the same ring to it, though.
