The easiest way to find the Beehive cluster (M44) this year is to find Saturn, as the constellation it is in (Cancer) is very dim. If you aim your binoculars at Saturn and move a little left, you will see a collection of stars much like a swarm of bees. The field of view shown includes Saturn and Aselus Borealis and Aselus Australis (literally, northern and southern donkey), which represent two donkeys feasting from a manger (Praesape), another name for the cluster. The central pentagon (house-shaped) is the manger, surrounded by straw on the floor.
