In March 2020, I shared my very first Hive.io post after the fork from Steemit — a simple, cute bee drawing that marked a new beginning for me [see it here](https://peakd.com/art/@jadung/hive-on).This bee holds a special place in my heart, filled with nostalgia, and now I’m excited to bring it back for this challenge. Your task is to recreate this bee in your unique style, enhance it with your creative touch, and, if you’d like, weave a short story or background to give it new life.
