"It looks like you have a bee invasion," he said.
That began my relationship with these fascinating creatures. They caused me to rip out a large portion of our living room, where I found more than 70 lbs of honeycomb. These bees may have been residents in our walls for well over a year, but that's a very uneducated guess.
After a few trials and errors, I managed to keep a hive out in the backyard beyond the trees.
Today, they're thriving. We harvested the first batch of honey a few weeks ago. Yielded more than a gallon worth.
Just like farm fresh vegetables taste better than those bought in a store, this is the sweetest I've ever tasted.
