Finally, the bees have returned to our fields, giving the flowers a raison d’être, the aromas meaning. Twenty-six queens – their hives blissfully buzzing, they bring a happy air to the fields, like something out of a child’s story book. They are tucked away in a high corner – get a glimpse of them out of the corner of your eye, and you can’t help smiling. Busy from dawn ‘til dusk making honey, they make it look effortless – beauty is never a toil.
