My profile picture is me, in a beekeeping outfit. I have never kept bees, because the hives I trained to care for were not installed before I had to move on to another job. My husband used to hate bees, and now he is kind to them because I love them and he loves me. I may never own my own hive, but I love bees, and I will make choices that will improve the health of the ecosystem and support bees (especially native bees! And other pollinators - I love butterflies so much! Ask me why!). But I really hope the local beekeepers who might be having trouble with their hives won't hold it against me that I never actually had a hive of my own. They have experience. I have training. Maybe we can collaborate and improve matters.

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?
