Jean introduces Charlie to her backyard bee colonies, teaching him the old folk tradition of "telling it to the bees"—sharing your secrets with the hive so they won't leave. This connection brings Jean closer to Charlie’s mother, (Grainger), a woman struggling with a failing marriage and financial instability. As Jean and Lydia develop a deep romantic bond, they face the harsh judgment and hostility of their conservative 1950s community. Key Themes
