Beekeeping — Practical, Experiential, and Fanciful

Human interaction with honey bees. Aside from serious beekeeping, what does it all mean? What ‘rules’ do people think apply? What ‘wisdom’? What do onlookers and would-be beekeepers imagine to be true? How are honey bees understood in genres such as self-sufficiency, natural history, mythology, and spiritual practice? And, when all is said and done, what is the actual and personal experience of keeping bees?
