Pollen the Honeycomb Mason | Bumblebee Adoptable

The story of Pollen the Honeycomb Mason

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The black and yellow fuzz and translucent wings set the bee’s silhouette against the plaster and garden plants. A teal apron and warmer work clothes make the costume read as part of the workshop. The brick is light enough to stand out near the hands. Its angled sides lead into the pattern of the wall, where a small change in placement could shift the next row.

In Pollen’s story, each wall follows the slope of the courtyard so rain can reach the plants without collecting at the door. Pollen keeps a few unfinished bricks nearby in case a corner needs to be shaped by hand. Most visitors see the pattern first and only notice the slope when the rain starts.

One afternoon a brick fits better with its glazed side turned inward. Pollen sets it temporarily and sees the curve line up with a second wall across the courtyard. The shape could be a clue to the path that used to connect the two gardens before a building stood between them.

The illustration captures the moment before the brick is pressed into place. The working pose lets the viewer see how one small piece contributes to the curve.
