Wicker Man (The Bees! The Bees!)

The old warrior gave him a raised brow, obviously not expecting the small dog to appear. Bourbon just smiled as Resin affirmed his assumption, the bees were very obvious though and honey was quite the commodity. ”Good to meet you.” He replied with a quick nod of his head, the smile on his features didn’t fall. He wondered if her daughter happened to be Iolaire.

”Less concerned about stores, though I’m sure my mate would appreciate it…” He started, wondering how much they would have to share. If there was he’d offer some to Luce otherwise… ”I’m most interested in bringing back a surprise treat for my three young pups.” He explained, his grin broadening as he talked about his kids. He was so proud of him, the dog could have gone on and on about them and their adorable antics. ”They’ve never had honey before.”

Bourbon couldn’t suppress the grin that took over his features, thinking about their first encounter with the sticky sweet substance brought him great joy. Bourbon wasn’t about to argue with moving on either, he could walk and talk at the same time. His eyes were sharp and he followed the buzzing insects with care. With the Autumn season brought the fall harvest, fruit was everywhere. Bending branches with the weight of them and falling to the ground to ferment.

It wasn’t long before he could see the entrance of the hive, the colony was based in the trunk of a huge tree. multiple entrances peeked out of the hollow body where bees came and went with business on their minds. ”I think that’s the one.” He chuckled nervously. This was a big project.
