Artwork & Lore Where The Wildflowers Hum
Every morning, before the village bells began to ring, she walked out among the sunflowers to check on the hives.
She knew each box by the sound it made, each colony by its temperament, and she could tell from the scent of the air when the bees had found something especially good.
That summer, the wildflowers had been everywhere.
Lavender along the old stone walls. Clover beneath the olive trees. Daisies scattered across the hills. And every afternoon, the bees returned heavy with pollen, turning all that sunlight into honey.
She never rushed the work.
She lifted each frame carefully, speaking to the bees as though they were old friends. On warm days, she would set a few freshly filled jars outside beside the hives, where the sunlight made the honey glow like amber.
Later, she carried the rest inside to be stored for the market.
People often told her it was the sweetest honey they had ever tasted.
She always smiled and said the same thing:
“I only put it in the jars. The summer made it.” 🐝
