Reply #7: beehives are utterly awesome. my grandparents had a hive and

[roguevalley]

when I stayed with them I would go to the beehive and sit down beside it, not more than five inches away and watch them. They never stung me. I was never afraid. They are so wonderful, having them make you in tune with the entire universe. I love that they have this and when they milk the hive and have a tub full of warm dark honey, it is so good. I still remember chewing on beeswax straight from the hive that my Grandpa gave me with sweet honey in it. Love bees. Love these people. Their roses will be awesome this year.
