Bees become close friends and allies for beekeepers. The queen shown on our cover was named Eleanor, after Eleanor Vander Ark, who called beekeeper Ben Witte to come get the swarm of bees that were trying to find a home under her bay window in Churchill, Montana. She was superseded in 2021 and will be greatly missed. Eleanor went to be with our Lord the same year.
The photo was taken by Bayard Black in June 2020 in Gallatin Gateway, Montana. More of Black’s work can be found online at https://wilderwear.shop and https://praise.pics.
