" Suddenly there was a humming in the air, and the bees were there too. They flowed out of Granny Weatherwax’s hive, circling Tiffany like a halo, crowning her, and swarm and girl stood on the threshold of the cottage and Tiffany reached out her arms and the bees settled along them, and welcomed her home. "

― Terry Pratchett , The Shepherd's Crown (Discworld, #41; Tiffany Aching, #5)
