Black and white painting of women working around beehives, captioned "Have you heard of "telling the bees""

📜🐝 "Telling the Bees": An ancient tradition where beekeepers share life’s milestones—births, marriages, and deaths—with their hives. Its origins are uncertain but may trace back to Celtic mythology.

Immortalised in Whittier’s 1858 poem, it still endures today 💛✨
