The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Huh? What do it mean?
Like the Hunter said when he shot the one Eyed dear.

I just came up with a clue: Leatherwood
One pollen-producing plant is the same as another.
Now we humans distinguish between bamboo, buckwheat, goldenrod, linden, locust, orange blossom, sage, star thistle,
tupelo, wildflower, and I’m deliberately leaving one out.
It’s an interesting choice of words though. What about royal jelly?
It’s true, but I have one problem with the accuracy of the author’s statement. The author refers to the “QEGBT SBB” as a male. In reality, the male SBBs do no work at all. Their only function is mating. So the decision concerning nobility or quality can only be made by the females.
I know the above may be hard to understand as I was trying to not give away any words of the CG. Message me if you want a clearer explanation. 🐝
Yes, it’s a clue.
