The tree the hive depends on, worn heavy.
The forage tree stands at the edge of every unsprayed field — untended, unpermitted, alive with a purpose that has nothing to do with us. The heraldic bees flanking the trunk are not decoration. They are the reason it is still standing. This is the cold-weather layer of the same argument the tee makes: the keeper guards the conditions, not the colony. Protect. Defend. Endure.
Tend the conditions. The rest is not yours to control.
