So, I’m doing this beekeeping apprentice thing this summer, where I have my own hives and have a mentor who helps me not kill all of the bees right away. I ordered my bees the other day, and am getting super stoked to get my hive all set up and put the bees in it! This is a photo from a day last summer when I was invited to watch the beekeepers at work on Lois and Doug’s farm. I’ve wanted to keep bees for a while, but this day solidified it for me. This photo was taken mere moments before a curious bee got ensnared in my hair, panicked, and stung me, inspiring a dozen other bees to do the same. But I was not deterred! Love hurts, right?
