Built, and never filled.
Drawn comb represents an enormous investment — roughly seven pounds of honey consumed for every pound of wax produced. A colony only builds it when it expects a flow worth storing. Empty drawn comb means the structure was raised on an expectation the season did not honor. The architecture is flawless. The cells are clean. Nothing came. Observe. Remember. Act.
The comb was never the problem. What the comb was waiting for did not arrive.
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
