A pile of straw, dead leaves, and small branches. Totally unassuming, until you find the pile has been staked out all around, and a sign placed which reads: "NID D'ABEILLES" (French for bees' nest). Young trees grow all around, protecting this temporary home from the harsh summer sun.

When you take a stroll through a patch of nature inside the city, and someone's clearly marked a bees' nest so you don't disturb them 🥰🐝
