Got my hands in a beehive today

There's a bee keeper who doesn't mind teaching new folks.  I got to help check for queens, look at honey production, and check overall hive health on a few hives before the rain set in.

I doubt I'm going to keep bees here because I don't want to set everything up just in order to move in a couple of years, but knowledge is power, and knowing how to take care of bees will help me when I eventually retire and start setting up orchards and gardens and everything else that I can have when I don't have to move every three years.

Plus, this guy just likes having someone to teach.  So I get to benefit from that.
