I’ve always loved bees. It’s one of the reasons I named my jewelry business Milk & Honey Jewelry. I find them to be absolutely beautiful and love that they play such an important role in agriculture with pollination. According to savebees.org, queen bees come out of hibernation and emerge from their burrows in the spring. Her job is to find a new home for her colony. They are in a vulnerable state and need to feed on nectar right away from early blooming flowers. Apparently they can be a mere 40 minutes away from starvation at this stage.

In the morning I went to go check on her and she was having a nap in one of the flowers. It was such a gorgeous day I knew it was time to release her, and hopefully she had enough energy to go on her way to find a new home for her colony. After I put her o
