Some years ago, I tried commercial beekeeping. I like to think that I succeeded at being a small scale commercial beekeeper.
I developed a brand and a beautiful product. And people gave me the proof that yes, I had done a okay job. Something I am learning to be proud of.
But then eventually I found it lonely and from that, I found it hard. Being the person that does everything was not so fun anymore. So I let nature do its thing. Beekeeping is farming. You must keep breeding new stock, you must keep production up, you must keep healthy bees and the list goes on. And I did not do that.
I am left with three beautiful strong colonies and one who’s struggling that I can’t kill so I am trying my best to help them. But nature sometimes does its thing.
Soon, I will welcome new bees at the farm. And because I am now a hobbyist beekeeper I have time to do something I always wanted to do. Paint pretty homes for the girls so they know how much I appreciate them. Even though I let them down a bit for a couple of years
