John: I can't find Sherlock

John: ...

John: BEES ARE BORING

Sherlock: *out of nowhere* I beg your pardon

I love that in the fandom (and maybe actual canon, I admit I haven't read the books yet) Sherlock loves bees, because in real life I am too. I was before I even got into the fandom. I remember during the final exams of secondary school when I was stressed out and terrified I would fail, I found a bee trapped inside my house dying. I remembered hearing somewhere you could rejuvenate bees with honey or sugar water and put it in the sun for warmth, so I sat with this bee for well over an hour out in our garden, feeding it and hoping it would live. And it did. It slowly got more lively and finally flew away, and I don't think I've ever actually been happier in my life (which might be very sad, but I don't care). Everything else didn't matter then, I was just happy I could save that little life. Lately I haven't been doing well, but thinking of that always makes me smile. Reading fics with Sherlock's love for bees always cheers me up and, weirdly, doesn't make me feel so alone. I'm sorry if this is very melodramatic, but I just love bees and they make me happy.

Hey Nonny! *HUGS*

What a lovely story! And yes, I believe it was a Martin Freeman gifset of him saving a bee that let me also know about that way to save a bee too. <3. AND I believe in-canon, Sherlock retires to be a beekeeper, but I'm not 100 on that one.

I'm so sorry that you're having a rough go *HUGS* Fics also help me though my rough times too. I can offer you some Fics with bees in them if you'd like? And I welcome people to add their own too :)

JOHNLOCK AND BEES

Our Bodies Bend Light by lovetincture (G, 1,211 w., 1 Ch. || Established Relationship, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Beekeeping, Retirement) – They got married. Of course they got married. Snapshots in a relationship. There's a jar of bees in the bookstore and a cottage in Sussex. Sherlock's not the marrying kind, and John's tried this once before, but they're Sherlock and John. Of course.

Fine Print by mistyzeo (E, 4,224 w., 1 Ch. || ACD Holmes || Est. Rel., Retirementlock, Glasses, Oral, Hand Jobs, Bees) – Holmes needs glasses, but he's too much of a stubborn arse to go get his eyes checked. Watson is used to bullying him for his own good. The glasses have unexpected but not unwelcome consequences for everyone.

Telling the Bees by siennna (G, 5,174 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Beekeeping, POV Sherlock, Love Confessions) – It took a beat of silence for the words to settle in, before both of them realized what John said. "You—" Sherlock started. "I—" John said at the same time. "Love me? You love me?" Sherlock asked faintly. Part 3 of sienna's favorites

Nothing So Sweet by alexxphoenix42 (E, 5,275 w., 1 Ch. || Shopkeeper AU || Beekeeping, Sussex, Alternate First Meeting, Awkward First Time Sex, Self-Consciousness / Body Insecurity, Fluff, Hand Jobs) – In an alternate universe, Sherlock is busy keeping to himself, tending his bees, and selling lovely jars of honey when a soldier limps into his life quite unexpectedly. Part 1 of The Sweetest Things

Second Waltz by Atiki (T, 6,685 w. 1 Ch. || Magical Realism, Missed Chances, Retirement, Sussex, Bees, MCD, Angst with Happy Ending, Fluff, Cancer) – "The night I died, you wished I could wait for you."

Speaker for the Bees by antietamfalls (M, 14,649 w., 3 Ch. || Deaf Sherlock, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss / Time, Fluff, Sign Language) – It isn't always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team. (doesn't directly contain bees, but Sherlock compares himself to a bee)

Through the Clouds by Mazarin221b (E, 20,004 w., 6 Ch. || Retirement, Sussex, Bees, Home Improvement, First Time, Romance) – Sherlock takes a remarkably early retirement at 47, and convinces John that a change of pace would do them both good. They buy an old cottage on the South Downs, and exchange their nonstop life in Baker Street for quiet contemplation, bee studies, and book writing. They might go completely insane, but sometimes it takes stepping outside of the life you're living to find the life you want. Part 1 of Through The Clouds

Love you Nonny <3

one day, when john was readind a news paper on his armchair and sherlock, his husband, was doing some experiements, he heard a bee flying in the room. the bee flew on john's knee, and john rolled his paper and smashed the bee. "aha! gotcha" john shouted at it. "got what?" sherlock asked, and saw the bee lying on the carpet. he lost his shit and almost started crying, and john had to hold him for an hour. as an apology john bought sherlock his first little beehive to their cute little cottage 🐝

Oh my gosh! John you silly billy, he probably didn't know how important bees were, but I'm sure sherlock will still love him as much even without the new beehive uwu 🐝🐝🐝
