Harvest in Violet: The Honeybee I

Illuminated by soft golden sunlight, a honeybee (Apis mellifera) clings to the base of a grape hyacinth blossom, her tiny form aglow with purpose. Her wings catch the light with a glassy shimmer, while a dusting of pollen clings to her legs—evidence of her diligent work. The contrast between the vivid violet petals and the warm, fuzzy texture of the bee’s body creates a harmonious balance between color and form. This image begins the series with a sense of calm productivity, inviting the viewer into the quiet world of spring pollination where beauty and labor are one.
