Beneath the sun is the flag at night. The flag pole is invisible. Jacob seems much taller now... he's no boy now, and can stay out after dark. He uses the left to right stripes of the stars to tell him which way direction flows here. That way he doesn't fall down (even when asleep).
At the end of the day, every night in the trailer park, the bees told me about the new world where they had settled and formed a nation.
