"Tell it to the bees" is an old folklore tradition.

Formally notifying your honeybees of major life events in the household—such as deaths, births, marriages, departures, and returns. Bees were viewed as vital, sensitive members of the household who shared the land and seasons rather than just livestock.
A family member would walk quietly to the hive, tap or knock gently on it to get the bees' attention, and speak the news in a plain, low voice.
For a death, the hive was often draped in a black cloth or "mourning crepe," and sometimes turned to face the funeral procession. For a wedding or birth, people might leave a piece of cake, a ribbon, or a sweet offering.
Folklore warned that if you forgot to tell the bees (especially about a death), they would feel disrespected, stop making honey, sicken, fly away, or die.

I know this isn't our normal content, but we are looking to sell one of our market vans, and marketplace just hasn't been getting it out to the right people.

We used this vehicle mainly for transporting goods to and from farmers markets. We have sadly outgrown this van, and that is the reason for selling.

2011 Chrysler Town & Country

The good:
Runs and drives great and has lots of bells and whistles. Has been regularly maintenance with many new parts, including starter & alternator plus just had a fresh oil change.

Van has a clean title, leather interior, heated seats (heated rear seats too) and heated steering wheel, comes with 2 sets of keys, stow & go seating, Uconnect system to connect your phone, it also has a DVD player with two screens the remote and wireless headphones.

This would make a good family vehicle or I personally loved this van for markets because of the automatic doors and it being low to the ground to help with loading and unloading.

The not so good:
Every so often the check engine light does come on for an EVAP leak. We have decided not to fix that and have been driving it this way for well over a year with no issues. Our regular mechanic also was not concerned about it. There is also some rusting on both the rear wheel wells (pictured) and minor dings, etc from regular use.

Please tag anyone that you might think would be interested and help us spread the word. Asking $4200
