I've been getting ready for a ritual that I'm hosting on Sunday called Honeysweet! Honeysweet is a month long celebration of the sweetness in our lives. Our joys, laughs, loves, gratitude, and even goals. Sweetnesses, like Bee's honey, that are to help nourish us through the darkness of winter...or anytime you find yourself in darkness. In years past, I've had attendees write their joys, and even griefs, on paper, and fold this paper into origami bees. Paper bees to be burned or unfolded when need be. This year I'm doing something a little different. Honeysweet Hives.
This year, I finished crocheting myself a Honeysweet Hive, and I plan on making attendees boxes. Basically it's a Gratitude Jar. This can be a joyous time of the year...but also a heavy one, too. So reach into your Hives and pull out a photo, a note, an origami bee--something to help brighten your day.
As someone with depression and SAD, Gratitude Jars have been literal life saviors in the past. I've been wanting to make a Honey Hive/Jar since Honeysweet's birth in 2021 (Wyrd Sanctuary). So I did. It's not perfect, but I can always make another when I get better at crocheting. Plus I think I'm going to add a couple of bees! 🐝🧡
If you love bees and like the idea, maybe a making a Honey Jar is in your future?
