Bees




Yesterday I met an apiarist or honey farmer/beekeepers as they are also called.  Apis in Latin means bee. Steve runs his apiary making income from the production of honey and breeding of queen bees. I approached him to find out if he was interested in placing a few hives on our property.  Too me it was a win-win situation. I get to watch an experienced beekeeper on my own property, no cost attached.  In return for the use of my land, he pays me in free honey produced from the bees. Johnny is safe from being stung and I get to learn and watch how the bees are managed. All the perks minus the hard work. What more can I ask for.
