Introduction

As much as i dislike the chickens on our farm, i love my bees. The swarm is a wild animal. But after a few painful years, i'm no longer a ham handed goof ball with my hives. And a morning spent in sink with this amazing animal is never a bad morning. Not only are bees maintenance, not only do they pay a wonderful rent, but they demonstrate a genius and an optimism that makes me feel more creative and alive.
