What would it feel like to be a bee?
One morning, while walking a sun-warmed trail, a curious boy named Liam watches a single bee moving from flower to flower with perfect certainty. He has just one question: What would it feel like to be you?
And just like that - he is.
Suddenly Liam sees through a thousand eyes, each one showing a color he has never seen before. He feels the warmth rising from the earth. He tastes the air, full of clover and cold stone and the sweetness of a flower just ahead. He moves with other bees the way a song moves - each one part of something none of them could make alone.
Then he is Liam again, sitting in the warm dust of the path. But something has opened inside him. The world, he discovers, is so much bigger than he thought.
