I have to admit, this phrase is not in my vernacular. Is it encouraging? Is it snarky? (I know, you're now thinking, if she doesn't understand it, why does she have it? Well, because it was a freebie of course. :D) I'm going to go with encouraging. You'll notice bees didn't totally leave my mind, as I picked a honeycomb stencil to add some background to my main panel, before stamping the sentiment and embossing it in sparkly black embossing powder. I stamped the buttercups and coloured them with the same yellow ink, using a sponge dauber. They had to be fussy cut. Some Stickles in the flower centres and a trio of enamel dots dress up the card a bit more.
You will have to visit the Color Hues blog to see how many of the team (and our current guest, Bonnie) went the bee route with these colours! And then I hope you will join us.

What a great sentiment to go with the pretty buttercup florals! (I think it's cute and encouraging, but not snarky!)
I think this is a great encouragement card with the pretty buttercups and fabulous sentiment!
I guess it all depends on who is actually saying it. Initially I would have thought encouraging but you have brought up a valid point. I also love the way you started your post. Made me laugh as usual. Love this card!
I should have thought of buttercups, they are all over the 'lawn' at the moment, well until it was cut yesterday!! I now have build me up buttercup buzzing through my brain after reading that fab sentiment. :)
very pretty buttercup card, my first thought would be bees too, then again who goes with their first thought? Fab. job with the colours.
I love your buttercup card! The background stenciling is perfection! Have a great week!
Lindsey that's such a fun large sentiment looks great with the soft yellow ink blend behind it. Have a great weekend!
Lindsey, I think it is to be an encouragement. I love the soft colors and bit of bling! So pretty.
I think that is an old saying and it fits perfectly with your pretty card. The soft stenciling looks great as a background.
