The honey harvest

To make a prairie, it takes a clover and one bee—
one clover, and a bee,
and revery.
The revery alone will do,
if bees are few.
– Emily Dickinson


For Art Thursday, The honey harvest by Riccardo Pellegrini. I'm not exactly sure what he's doing here, but it looks like he's not very well-protected!

Love the way the poles are arranged to keep the hives off the ground.

Maybe he's covering the hive? His gloves are on the ground so it must be fairly safe?

Thank you for sharing the honey harvest and Bill Withers this week.
