In May, I made a phone note: swarm of lavender bees. I carried the bees until Kathy Fish's summer immersive when "Lavender Bees, Dilly Dilly" was born 🐝Thank you to the @themerseyreview.bsky.social editors for seeing something in my purple micro fiction haze. www.themerseyreview.com/issues/7/lav...
