I love this! I read a book called Small Favors by Erin A. Craig a few months ago that centers on a family of bee keepers. This reminded me of it. They always talked to their bees and the author made it seem as though they understood (it was fictional). But maybe they do.🤷‍♀️ Super interesting about their burial practices! I didn’t know that!

Thanks, Summer! I don’t know that book, but adding it to my queue. Humans routinely underestimate other species, especially their ability to emote. But if people have been talking to bees for this long, there has to be something to it, I guess?

It’s so good! Definitely recommend it. But yeah! I’ve always heard that people talk to bees, so I guess ya never know.

Aw, Scott! I love you too. I’m glad this one landed right. It was a strange sight, watching all those little guys zooming out from under her headstone. She was off by herself so I almost like to think they’re keeping her company.
