One frame, two seasons.
Pull a frame in a failing colony and you can read the whole year on a single sheet of wax. Capped brood on one side, still viable, still being tended. Empty cells on the other, gone dark, never refilled. The bees do not treat this as tragedy. They work the half that still works. The keeper is the one who stands there holding both halves in one hand. Observe. Remember. Act.
The comb keeps the record whether or not anyone reads it.
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
