He doesn't seem to do much but clearly enjoys moving his hives around to give the little buzzers access to different trees and shrubs. I got one stuck in my hair once. Ouchies! Poor thing died for his craft. My sister has bees next door . . .the beekeeper spends hours pootling about.

Beekeeping really is an incredible pastime, and does give you a different perspective on life. And it is not just for country dwellers - more and more people living in cities are starting to keep bees too. I would throughly recommend it as a tonic to the pace of modern life - and for all that delicious honey! Great article.
