In which a well-meaning rustic, inspired by ancient verse, attempts to summon bees by mimicking a sacred ritual involving a bull's carcass, only to incite a very different and unpleasant natural outcome. The tale draws a wry contrast between noble intentions and the unyielding truths of nature, where rot and the flies that attend it replace the envisioned sweetness of honey.
