A wasp nest is pillaged by villagers when they find it contains neat local maps presumably made by the wasps themselves. The wasps are forced to move on and then encounter some 'anarchist' bees - a glorious mixture of narrative old and new, fact and fantasy. (

For longer than anyone could remember, the village of Yiwei had worn, in its orchards and under its eaves, clay-colored globes of paper that hissed and fizzed with wasps.
