The story of Honeyglass Bee Aviators
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The Honeyglass pilots could navigate by the sun, but the new mail route ran beneath a greenhouse roof. Every pane threw back a different sun. On her first flight through it, Vessa made six perfect turns and arrived at the very window she had flown in through ten minutes earlier.
She landed beside a pot of marigolds and unfolded her map. One of the gardeners had marked every door, water tank and potting bench. The map lacked only the objects a bee could actually recognize from above. Vessa asked the other pilots to fly one slow circuit and sketch whatever caught their eye.
They came back with a red watering can, a broken blue tile, three white orchids and the long shadow of a ladder. The ladder moved before lunch and the watering can disappeared before tea. The tile and the orchids stayed put. Vessa drew a route between them with a dotted line for the stretch that crossed open water.
The following morning the pilots flew the route with the first sack of letters. At the final window a gardener had planted six marigolds in a hexagon. Vessa added them to the map in gold ink. She left room for the orchids to grow and enough blank paper for the next season’s flowers.
