When he discovers one lurking among his prize plants, he realizes death and destruction will soon come to the valley. Despite this, he believes nature must take its course. The slaughter begins and soon the monk's own honey bees fall victim. Yamaguchi must endure the whole summer to find out whether or not he was right to put his faith in the balance of nature.
