My parents live in Clinton, MS, and I often will go wandering about the outskirts of town, looking for things to paint. I saw some cows in a field in the shade of a tree, so I followed the dirt road. I asked for permission from friendly folks in the house at the end of the road- to be on their property. On my way back I saw these wonderful beehives, almost like an abstract painting, or geometric design. These are active hives and the bees could be seen swishing too and fro. This was fairly hot weather, summer.
