"i love you i love you i love you"

"I hadn't been out to the hives before, so to start off she gave me a lesson in what she called "bee yard etiquette.” 
She reminded me that the world was really one big bee yard, and the same rules worked fine in both places: Don't be afraid, as no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don't be an idiot; wear long sleeves and long pants. Don't swat. Don't even think about swatting. If you feel angry, whistle. Anger agitates, while whistling melts a bee's temper. Act like you know what you're doing, even if you don't. 
Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved".
the secret life of bees. sue monk kidd.


BRILLIANT FILM.
(although the book is such a beautiful novel filled with flowing words and prose. both are highly recommended).
