Artwork and Words by katherine sandoz

When in the presence of bees, it’s difficult not to wax on about life, love, and purpose, but they do make you sting with awareness of all things family, work, duty and the all too quick passage of time. Like the honey makers, the keeper quietly hummed in the periphery of so many ladies with a quietness that is unique to the most masculine. And then there was the girl-woman – a hive herself – brimming with busy-ness and beauty.
