The Beekeeper

Kathy saw a note in the library bulletin that a beekeeper was coming to speak tonight, so we went over after dinner, not knowing what to expect.  He was absolutely amazing and talked with such passion about the lives of bees and how their lives are lived, and how the hive works.  You cannot believe what goes on in a beehive, with the queen bee, the drones and the female worker bees.  It is an astounding story!  He also talked about the terrible danger of pesticides to all the bees everywhere - without bees there will be no pollination, without pollination there will be no food.  It was an amazing talk, and a sobering talk.  I don't remember learning so much about a new subject in such a short amount of time.  I spoke to him about coming out to his home and photographing him working with his bees.  Stay tuned.
