watching it rise

Stung: Elizabeth Kolbert writes about beekeeping and the recent disappearance of a large percentage of the worlds bees.

Not long ago, I found myself sitting at the edge of a field with a bear and thirty or forty thousand very angry bees. The bear was there because of the bees. The bees were there because of me, and why I was there was a question I found myself unable to answer precisely.
