1. The vision before beekeeping
If you don't have beekeeping yet, but you like bees, then you must have some yearning for beekeeping;
While dreaming of this freelance profession, you may have such an image in your mind from time to time: you are leisurely walking in the field, enjoying yourself
Breathe in the scent of nature, and your own bees soar back and forth among the flowers, bringing bursts of nectar fragrance as they pass you, bringing you an endless sense of enjoyment.
Maybe from time to time you will have such a picture in your mind: the mountain forest is very quiet, you stay in your beekeeping tent and enjoy this tranquility alone, outside the tent is your neatly arranged boxes of bees, they are busy going back and forth among the wildflowers in the mountain, just waiting for the moment when you harvest the sweetness, the tranquility of solitude and the arrival of the harvest make your whole body and mind feel extraordinarily comfortable.
2. Beekeeping is very pleasant at the beginning
With endless longing and yearning for beekeeping, you put beekeeping into practice and began to raise a few boxes or a dozen boxes of bees. In your spare time, you will always come to the beekeeping site to observe and appreciate, enjoy the tranquility of solitude, and enjoy the vitality brought to you by countless small lives; colleagues and friends will always discuss the mystery of bees and honey with you at work, and then you will feel extremely proud and enjoy yourself when you talk freely;
Colleagues, relatives and friends will let you find a way to keep their part of them, "pure natural" gives you a full sense of superiority, honey not only brings you material gains, but also brings you a full sense of achievement; this world, everyone needs you very much, not to mention how exciting the feeling of being needed.
3. Later, I learned that beekeeping hurts the body
With this sense of accomplishment, with this exciting feeling of being needed, you start raising dozens or even hundreds of boxes of bees. Maybe you just happened to be retired, or maybe you voluntarily quit the low-paying job you wanted to escape from a long time ago. In short, you are now full-time and you are full-time beekeeper. In your opinion, if you keep the previous momentum, your income will at least multiply several times, and the sense of accomplishment you will be needed will rise to a new level.
As you wished, you can continue to enjoy the solitude of beekeeping, but it seems that there is no such tranquility as before, because you need to spend a lot of time managing the bee colony, and there are many things that make you have no time to enjoy the fun of solitude.
Just like when you started beekeeping, you still stay with the bee colony in the mountains and fields, but now you can't go as you did at any time, because a careless bee thief will make you lose a lot, because an inattentive wasp infestation will cost you a lot, and there are too many bee colonies, and you don't feel that you can afford these losses.
Just like when you started beekeeping, when you collect honey, your relatives and friends will tell you that you will take the time to buy some honey, but they are not as eager as they were at the beginning, because they all know that you have more bees, and they are not afraid that you will not be able to keep their share, and those former colleagues have gradually decreased after you left, and they don't seem to need honey as much as they did at the beginning.
4. The embarrassment after two years of persistence
Two years have passed since full-time beekeeping:
At the beginning, the feeling of being alone was relaxed and quiet, but now the feeling of being alone is nothing but torment;
At the beginning, the mountain fields felt extremely comfortable, but now the mountain fields feel that in addition to the stuffy heat, there are many mosquitoes;
At the beginning, I felt extremely excited and fulfilled when I harvested honey, but now I have a headache when I harvest honey, and I am so tired that I can't sell it at all.
I felt very proud to have been needed by my relatives and friends, but now I feel that I need them so badly, without their help, you don't know where to go for the beehives in the next year.
This bee is really embarrassing, looking forward to the infinite beauty of beekeeping, starting beekeeping is very pleasant, and completely entering the beekeeping industry to know that "once you enter the industry, deep as the sea", regret not at the beginning.
So, are you still sticking to beekeeping?
