I saw Secret Life of Bees recently (back off! I loved the book and the movie was good, too)…but afterwards, my friend and I took our daughters for a drink (wine for us, lemonade for them)–they were done before we were, and we sent them outside. When we found them, they were bent over this little gem: a honey bee hive in the wild–mind you, I live in densely populated South Florida.. The industrious bees were making honey in the well of what I think is a water meter.

Just kinda cool, right? Gives me hope.
