Shirts have a modern cut
Jean-Claude's bee colonies have thrived in these Provence lavender fields for three decades, and he's agreed to teach you the delicate art of hive management during the season's most crucial harvest. Suited in borrowed white cotton, you learn to move with bee-timeslow, deliberate, respectful of creatures whose work sweetens the world. Thomas in Light Herbal Green moves gently amongst sixty thousand bees whose survival depends on reading human intention. The crochet-effect stitch seems to calm the colonies, whilst the organic cotton's natural fibres allow for the fluid movements that keep both beekeeper and bees content. The colour harmonises with lavender blossoms and morning light. When you successfully extract honeycomb without a single sting, Jean-Claude removes his veil and grins. "Les abeilles," he says, gesturing toward the humming hives, "they trust you already." He hands you a jar of their morning's worklavender honey that tastes like captured sunshine. "Next season, you help with the royal jelly harvest." Some partnerships require wings of trust. Feel Summer.
