Telling the Bees

A quiet tribute to the old custom of Telling the Bees. A young girl approaches a weathered beehive, holding a large iron key – an emblem of passage and communication. She comes to share news, perhaps of a death, in keeping with the belief that bees must be told of life’s changes or risk falling silent. Rooted in folklore and innocence, the moment bridges the natural and spiritual worlds through ritual, memory, and the quiet wisdom of a child.
