'But somebody must go,' she replied. 'It is late for the hives already.
Swarming will soon be over for the year; and if we put off taking 'em
till next week's market the call for 'em will be past, and they'll be
thrown on our hands.'

The excerpt portrays Mrs. Durbeyfield's apparent inability to handle a pressing situation and her quick resort to involving a young man who had shown interest in her the previous day. It highlights her reliance on others, especially young men, in times of need. This seems to reveal a lack of self-reliance and perhaps a certain desperation, showing that she is not as strong as she may appear. Her suggestion betrays a certain naivety or lack of foresight, making one wonder about her ability to navigate challenges independently.
