Nature provides a free lunch, but only if we control our appetites.

ABOUT the COVER

Bee Field

ink and watercolor, 2007

by Carrie Wild

“I made this work after re-reading Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees and Holley Bishop’s Robbing the Bees: A Biography of Honey. I admire the bees’ industrious, complex society and all the secrets that still reside in the hive, millions of years old. I wanted to create a picture that evoked a warm summer day with the bees busy among some of my favorite flowers. To see more of my work, including new originals, giclees, and cards, please visit www.carriewild.com.”
