another similar firm employed Bulgarians and Peruvians. At the end of the season,
most of them moved on to the Northern Hemisphere. But they would be back. And
when on a night out, these young men tell the pretty young woman in the local pub that
they are beekeepers, that young lady always wants to find out more (or the other way
round, of course)!
Destressing yourself
You can even adopt a Zen approach to beekeeping - go with the seasons and be part of
nature. Remember that bees are probably the most 'natural' of all humanity's livestock.
They are totally wild creatures. There is nothing domesticated about them at all, and so
nature and the seasons mean everything to them - and to you, if you follow them. All
the clues to success with this approach are in front of you.
Finally, while still on the subject of beekeepers, I know of two very highly placed
executives who each have two hives and who just like to destress themselves after a
busy week in the office by sitting in the sun with a glass of wine and watching the bees
coming and going from the hives. They leave all the honey to the bees and carry out only
minimal essential tasks to ensure their bees' survival. What more could you ask for?
So what type of beekeeper will you be? There is a huge choice but, whatever you
choose to do, you will need some essential instruction and guidance, and it is the aim
of this topic to start you off and to provide essential information clearly and accurately.
By following the information in this topic you will soon be enjoying yourself as a
beekeeper, with a whole new world of possibilities opening up in front of you. If you are
a beekeeper, the world is your oyster.
