Like multiple others that I know, the last 2 years have saddled me with more stress than I was used to while the people I was with and I were in the entire previous many decades of our life.
- College was hard and I lived paycheck to paycheck, despite the fact that I had few responsibilities beyond our own survival and success in school.
I didn’t have other human beings that I not only created, however rely on our entire existence to live and thrive in this world. Everything I do with our work affects our children at the end of the afternoon, and the pandemic was hard on our industry. Our company lost a lot of contracts and I was swimming in a sea of uncertainty until I could restructure the company and find a model that worked in a post-pandemic world. We’re not doing extremely well by any means, however things are slowly improving as time goes on. It has given me a tiny bit of time on the weekends to pursue our new beekeeping and honey harvesting activity. I have regularly enjoyed honey however couldn’t deal with the rising prices lately. That’s when I came across a video on the internet from a activityist beekeeper and I decided to try it for myself. Caring for bees is extremely unbelievable and it feels nice that I’m also doing something great for the environment at the same time. I harvest the honey and share it with our friends and family. Sometimes I will infuse it with berries to make a delicious honey butter that tastes amazing on toast, bagels, and spanish muffins. I hope I can keep up with our beekeeping activity into the distant future.
