Eight months ago, Dr. Bede Hymes, a middle-aged brunette woman with an unwavering passion for Hymenoptera, particularly bees, wasps, and hornets, dedicated her life to understanding and safeguarding these essential insects. Driven by her belief in their pivotal role as pollinators in Earth's delicate ecosystem, she felt an unspoken connection with the buzzing world of these fascinating creatures.
Once a renowned Hymenoptera Entomologist, Dr. Bede Hymes found herself involuntarily retired, embracing a new role as a bee removal and rescuer. When hives formed in "unwanted areas," she was the compassionate figure who came to the rescue, collecting the hive and safely relocating it to her own apiary. Despite her altruistic efforts, she felt a profound sense of misunderstanding from the society that failed to grasp the significance of her work.
