SOLVED. SF short story humans "guide-dogs" for blind intelligent bees on bee planet [s]

[Fayley]

Hi, does anyone know the name this old classic SF short story? Humans are minority immigrants / underclass on a planet of a bee-like society. Main character is young human boy who becomes a "guide dog" for a blind bee. The blind bee is a well known and respected old artist.

This is "Guide Dog" by Mike Connor, if I remember right.

D. M. any links for that book/short story? So that the OP can check it out and see if that really IS it.

[D.M.]

It's only been published in magazines and a few anthologies, a link here at http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cg... gives a list of where it can be found.

Solved! Thanks heaps. Sorry for the misleading "per-1970" ... looks like it was much more recent.

To moderators: I've changed the thread folder to a SOLVED folder, but I don't know how to do the other housekeeping tasks, can you help me out please?

No problem, Fayley! I'm glad you found your story.
