I pass a big lavender bush between home and work, and it’s the summer highlight of my tiny commute.It’s loud with humming and I always pause to watch the bees - so many bees! - moving from spike to spike, filling their little saddlebags with pollen before setting off home to their hive.
And we’re following them home!Hive is a silky, fluffy exploration of honeycombs glistening with goodness and baby bees emerging from their waxy little cells.
