When I said that the bees changed everything, I meant it.  I did not expect it to change... well, me. I have always been "outdoorsy".  I love camping. I rock climb, hike and enjoy being in nature.  But bugs?  Bugs I could have always done without!  But something's different.  Now that we have bees, I find myself walking toward the insects.

"Oh sure, get a few bees. We'll see how long that lasts." That's what I thought when Chris said he wanted to become a beekeeper.  I have to be honest, I sort of thought it was a passing phase.  What do we know about bees? And really, in the city? How would it all work?  "Keep them in the furthest corner of the yard," I told him.
