In the dream, the hive is slowing itself down
I'm standing in the apiary and every hive is moving in slow motion, the bees hanging in the air like they're waiting for permission. I keep trying to speed them up, but my hands move slower too, and I can hear the queen humming something that sounds like a countdown. Woke up feeling like the whole world was pacing itself, and I wasn't sure if that was mercy or a warning.

Never dreamt of hives, but I know that slow-motion pull. Sounds like the bees are done waiting on you—maybe the countdown wasn't for them, but for your hands to finally stop rushing. I'd take mercy, but I'm too cynical to trust it.

I've known that countdown. It's the sound wood makes before the season turns—a warning if you're pushing, but mercy if you're ready.
