The sisters keep bees and run a successful honey business from "summary" of The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
The Boatwright sisters tended to their bees with a devotion that bordered on reverence. Their days were spent tending to the hives, checking on the bees, and harvesting honey. It was a labor of love, one that had been passed down through generations. The sisters had learned the art of beekeeping from their mother, who had learned it from her mother before her. The honey business was more than just a way to make a living for the sisters; it was a way of life. They took pride in the quality of their honey, in the way they cared for their bees, and in the way they ran their business. Customers came from far and wide to buy their honey, drawn not only by its superior taste but also by the story behind it. The sisters worked together seamlessly, each one knowing her role and carrying it out with precision. August was the visionary, the one who understood the bees on a deeper level than anyone else. June was the practical one, handling the day-to-day operations of the business. May was the heart of the operation, her gentle spirit bringing a sense of peace to the hive. Their success was not just a result of hard work and dedication, but also of the love and unity that bound them together. They supported each other through thick and thin, celebrating their victories and comforting each other in times of sorrow. The bees, too, were a symbol of this unity, working together for the greater good of the hive. In the end, the sisters' honey business was more than just a business; it was a testament to the power of family, love, and community. It was a reminder that, like the bees, we are all connected in ways that we may not always understand. And in that connection lies the true secret of life.
