  1. I had a woman and her grandson stop by my fence one day. She asked if her grandson could ask me something. Apparently he had seen my apiary near the creek and wanted to know what all the white boxes were.

    We chatted for quite awhile after I told him they were honeybees. He had some really insightful questions about beekeeping, especially for a 6 to 8 year old.

    Finally I told him I really needed to get back to work and they walked away only to stop about twenty feet away. The grandmother bent down and they talked for a moment then she stood up and said he had one more question if I didn’t mind. I told them go ahead and he asked where did the honey come from. I popped right off with it’s basically bee vomit. His expressions were really something to watch as his went face went white. His grandmother told me “thanks, he’ll never eat honey again.”

    Alcohol is yeast/bacteria pee, so I’ll take a pass on it.

    • And to think modern Insulin is manufactured in bioreactors with E Coli, a fecal bacterium that has been bioengineered to poop out Insulin as a waste product. Then you get to inject or infuse into your body, your child’s body and your pet if it is diabetic. Isn’t science wonderful!
