A few months ago our neighbors moved away, which was kind of a bummer.
- Not just because they were good friends, but they also had a huge house on a big plot of land and would often invite us over for sporting events and cookouts.
We had some good times over there, and were hoping whoever moved in next would also become our friends. Instead we got some very unusual people, and it seemed at first like there would be some trouble. I don’t like to judge people, but some hobbies are weirder than others, and beekeeping is a very weird hobby. My wife and I were a little concerned that dozens of bee hives would now be a few hundred yards away from us. I am not allergic to bee stings like some people, but my wife had actually never been stung so she didn’t know. It just seemed dangerous to me to live so close to so many honeybees, and that it was very likely would get stung a lot. The beekeepers actually turned out to be super nice people, if a bit odd, and invited us over to check out the bee farm. Much to my surprise the bees all seemed to be pretty chill, and so maybe it would not be the nightmare we had envisioned. They told us that if the bees ever got aggressive to let them know, but that it would likely never happen. On the way out they gave us a jar of honey, and I must say it was the best honey I’ve ever had.
