Her story
What Marigold is doing this season.
MustardLitchiEucalyptus
Marigold rules one of PAQ's largest colonies — nearly 60,000 workers strong in peak mustard bloom.
Her hive sits on the edge of a smallholding where four generations of the same family have farmed. In 2024 her pollination lifted the neighbouring litchi orchard's yield by an estimated 32%.
She is loud, prolific, and utterly unbothered.
