This was lovely, thanks so much. One small correction, though - it is the drones (male bees) which don't sting. When winter approaches, the drones are kicked out of the hive, and no longer fed by other bees, as their job is done. They live only to fertilise newly-hatched queens, usually in spring or early summer.

Thank you so kindly for the nice words and the bee information! I miss those hives. I would love to keep bees, I think I would be good at it. They are fascinating creatures, all shimmer and light. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your bees. And the mead! I've never had it!
