One season into keeping bees and my main finding is that I was sold a hobby and have acquired a weather anxiety.

Everything depends on a forecast. Whether to open the hive, whether they have enough, whether the thing you were going to do on Saturday is now a thing you do next Saturday. I check the sky more than I check anything else now.

Two hives, both alive, which I am told is the only number that matters in year one.
