Honey is nice, but the true joy of apiculture is how the bees pull you into their world and surroundings well beyond the hive. Watching nature in action, the order of the hive, and its focus of collective unity and survival fascinate one’s relationship with nature. This revelation becomes clear as soon as honey becomes the second benefit. Woodworking provides the same connection to nature. Working with grain, expansion, and wood characteristics is just as rewarding. Creating a piece that is functional and will last a lifetime is a true pleasure.
