My late Grandpa, the man who spun tales of buried treasure and promised me the world, had left me with the biggest letdown: a dusty, old apiary. Who leaves their grandchild an insect-infested shack? This cruel joke of an inheritance was a slap in the face until the day I peered into the beehives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a regular morning. Aunt Daphne peered over her glasses at the mess on my bed. \u201cRobyn, have you packed your bag yet?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m texting Chloe,\u201d I groaned, hiding my phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost bus time! Get ready!\u201d Aunt Daphne said, stuffing books into my bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw the time. 7:58 A.M. \u201cUgh, fine,\u201d I sighed, getting up from the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She held out a shirt for me, ironed and ready. \u201cThis isn\u2019t what your Grandpa hoped for you, you know. He believed you\u2019d be strong, independent. And those beehives he left? They\u2019re not going to tend to themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

recalled the times with Grandpa, the honey, the bees. But now, my mind was on the upcoming school dance and my crush, Scott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll check them, maybe tomorrow,\u201d I said, fixing my hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTomorrow never comes for you. Grandpa believed in you, Robyn. He wanted you to take care of the apiary,\u201d she insisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook, Aunt Daphne,\u201d I said sharply. \u201cI\u2019ve got better things to do than take care of Grandpa\u2019s bees!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
