Our cover image comes to us from Denise Cocchiara of Sparta, New Jersey. Denise painted a series of beekeeping water colors – this one titled “Beekeeper III” – which won awards in the 2023 New Jersey watercolor Society Annual Juried Exhibition. We would like to thank her neighbor (and ABJ reader) Tom Makoujy for sharing it with us.
