The Bee


The Bee
Settlers' bees involved neighbors working together to get work done. The flurry of activity reminded people of hardworking bees in a hive and hence, its name. Quilting bees, apple peeling bees, and barn raising bees provided social time as well. Often, these evenings ended with a party!
