A black and yellow passion

No, I am not a Borussia Dortmund fan, but I do love bees.

How does it come I am in love with these little insects? By chance. Like many young internet addicted people, I started by watching random videos on YouTube, and I ended up watching videos of people harvesting honey from hives. I swear to God, those are the most statisfying videos you could ever watch. In particular there is this boy, Taras Kul, known by someone as "Crazy russian hacker"; he is super funny and he makes videos with his strong russian accent and it is entertaining to see him show his hives and how he tries not to kill all his bees.

Then, as that I become obsessed with anything, I started watching videos about apicolture like 4 hours a day every day, so that I started dreaming about bees during the night. My parents were very concerned that I was turning crazy, but they didn't give it too much attention really: I think they gave up on having a normal daughter a long time ago.

But the real question is: what am I doing with this blog? So... you can find a lot of specific informations on bees on books or on Wikipedia, but I haven't yet found a website that teaches me stuff in a simple and straight forward way. Mostly though I have not yet found a website that lets people who like bees to connect and talk with each other and with professional beekeepers (maybe getting some experiences out of it), as that all professional beekeepers are like an evil cult. And that is it.

I will try to write short posts on curiosities about bees, and if this blog was ever visited by a professional beekeeper, I would love to build a network and create collaborations.

One day I would love to have my own hive and produce my own honey, and maybe when that day comes I will share my journey on these pages.

Until then have fun with my puns and my horrible sense of humor.

Enjoy!
