Bees

So this year, me and the wife are setting out on some new adventures. About 3 months ago she asks "Babe... how would you feel..."
Now, that's usually when the fighting starts.
This time however it was "...if we got bees?" I had pondered it before and said sure. Now, it doesn't matter if you are stilling, keeping bees, smoking meat, or learning to play an instrument. Any hobby is a commitment of months of learning. That never stops. After all the books, the seminars, the club joining and meetings, and the seemingly standard $1,000 hobby (any) start up investment... our bees came today!
I don't know where this path will lead us. But I feel ready, confident, and I'm positive it will end with mead
. That's another thing to learn. But a couple hundred pounds of honey a year... what's a guy to do
