The blooms went first.
A hive left standing in a corridor that stopped feeding it. The blossoms are still there in outline, drained of the season that made them worth the flight. Nothing was destroyed here. The forage simply thinned, one year against the next, until the distance from the entrance to the nearest bloom became further than a worker could profitably fly. The box remained. The reason for the box did not. Observe. Remember. Act.
A hive does not fail where it stands. It fails at the edge of its range.
The garment. Bella+Canvas 3010C. 6.5 oz heavyweight combed and ring-spun cotton. Relaxed unisex fit, dropped shoulder, side-seamed. Printed DTF — the ink sits in the fabric, not on it.
Sizing runs relaxed. The chest measurement steps 4 inches between M and L — wider than the usual 2. Check the chart before ordering.
Evergreen — restocked, never rushed.
Wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang. No iron on the print. Tend the conditions and it outlasts the season.
Every order ships with wildflower seeds, mailed separately by the keeper with a handwritten note. Not a promotion. Part of the discipline. ironhiveco.co/seeds
