I went to a talk about beekeeping last night at Living Room Realty (very cool people); now I want friends to own an apiary! *I* don't want the care and hosting responsibilities of 10,000 bees, I just want to visit them and totally support the process. The couple who spoke live in Roscoe Village and were really knowledgeable but I was woefully unprepared for the 90-min infodump; context clues are important, but they were few and far between. I did learn a lot, and I am glad I went. Plus, their honey was indescribably delicious. It tasted green in all the good ways; the fresh smell of grass, the tang of fresh-cut flowers, the things in the air that tell you that it's summertime. Soooo good!
Bees are the new chickens!
