Thanks so much, Ben! I love to watch the bees busy in their work. Such a good model of devotion. When I look at the slow motion video, it almost looks like they’re swimming through the air, which is so cute. Maybe they’re having fun too?
Thank you Shital. They seem relaxed and joyfully at work when I watch them in slow motion. I have made numerous videos and always love the way they kick their little legs like swimmers.
There is something deeply comforting in reading a poem about bees.
Thank you, Manuela. Their single-heartedness and focus is a comfort isn’t it? I agree.
Sweet and delicate on the tongue. Love this one, Ann.

Oh that single word is dripping sweetness in my heart.
Thank you, my friend!💛
An amber mantra, oh how I will carry this with me. The simplicity of devotional repetition is sometimes the most profound. Thank Ann for this beauty!
Thank you, Kimberly. A calming anchor, even for one deep breath.
It’s so interesting to watch the bees make their hive. They are meticulous! As always lovely Ann.

Ann, this is moving. Happy to have stumbled upon it tonight.
Oh I’m glad—thank you!
Beautiful, Ann! I love the sound of the bee’s wings in slow-mo. It’s like a purr.
Thank you! I like the image of fuzzy flying kittens 🐈⬛💛
Oh. My. Heart.
For you, dear friend 🐝
I love how this is exactly the opposite of everything we are told to do -- diversify income, try multiple things, spread yourself too thing.
What if we returned to a single word, a single flower? Maybe we too would make some sweeter honey!
Yes, Josh, I agree! Always trying to lean in and focus on the work that we most want to see in the world. You are doing this so well.
This is beautiful Ann! Watching the bees at work is so meditative.
Thank you, Lin. It sure is. And such a pleasure to step outside of time for a little while.
This makes me think of lavender in July.
thank you! it’s nice to write about summer in the middle of winter—and vice versa.
Beautiful language for bee prayers, Ann and a case for single devotion.
Thank you, Ron! I hope you’re staying warm & well 💛
This is STUNNING
Thank you Mike!
"If we return
to a single word
in sweetness,
an amber mantra,"
I will hold tightly to those words until the bees return dear Ann, 'an amber mantra' how I long for the sound and sight of bees... 💛xx
💛!
So beautiful.
Thank you, Margaret. This one has been rattling around in my notebook since last spring.
"Monofloral honey"
I mean, even this line alone was strong enough. 🤗🤗
