" covered in tattoos up to his chin and recovering from addiction"

I feel I should mention that these are not metrics by which I choose to judge anyone; I have the utmost respect for recovering addicts and know better than to jump to conclusions about a person based on appearance (though sometimes I do, and am working on being more generous). These things, in the town I grew up, though, were very much taboo and my involvement with this man, had we been in my hometown, would have been unbelievable. He seemed very exotic to me.

'came across a bee that had become covered in the sticky sweetness and was struggling. The beekeeper gently returned the bee to the entrance of the hive, where her sisters quickly got to work cleaning her up.'

Now that's some community! A big fan of those bee people. And tea honey is coming; good for you! Sounds like your crew be needing some hot tea, rest when you can!
