Sally tried to raid a wild beehive. She thought she knew plenty about bees. For instance, pine needle smoke should put them to sleep.
She made the fire small, then climbed the tree. The nest broke loose. She fumbled, trying to not hurt the bees, and flipped the nest into another branch. Bees poured out. She fell awkwardly to the ground, ran to the river with bees chasing, came out drenched and stung, all for one finger full of honey.
Her mother would probably ask if it was worth it. Sally checked no one was around, then grinned.
