Peeking Bees Apiary

“Why did I become a beekeeper?”

People always expect some deep, magical answer like:

“To reconnect with nature…”
“To protect pollinators…”
“To live in harmony with the bees…”

Meanwhile me:
“Because I love honey.” (and a friend told me I can't get up early)
That’s it.

Just honey. Sweet, golden, delicious honey.
What I failed to realize is that bees apparently took this personally. I'm just a menace to their peaceful life.

No matter how careful or prepared I am, harvesting still ends the same way… I get stung. And I got stung 3 times on my face, arm and a leg. My reward is and pain.

is honestly just:
“I love honey enough to fight for it… and occasionally lose.

Still worth it though.
