Chapter Three

              Lily and Rosaleen reach the town of Tiburon on a Sunday. Lily buys them lunch at a restaurant ( barbecue pork) and they have a picnic outside. While she is waiting for the food Lily sees a jar of honey on the shelves that has the same picture on it as the picture Lily found in the bag of her mother's things, a picture of an African American Mary. The honey is called Black Madonna Honey. After finishing lunch Lily and Rosaleen go to find August Boatwright, the woman who makes the honey.

On leaving the old nest, the swarm normally flies only a few metres and settles. Scout bees look for a suitable place to start the new colony. Eventually, on location wins favor and the whole swarm takes to the air.
