The bees. All our hives made it through winter and a fairly mild spring so far has given them a boost. Queens are laying like crazy, workers are working hard.
I’ve started wearing very thin gloves while inspecting the hives after realising that they make it less likely I’ll be stung, because I can be gentler. A bonus is that I can feel the warmth of the bees, and that really does bring me joy.

omg you’ll be among the saviors of the world, given the way bees are going according to the news.
This is so cool, especially the bee warmth, I never thought of them putting off much heat, but I imagine with enough of them they would!
