In no profession there are people like beekeepers. We are an advanced class of specialists we do well in many things. No matter our height, shape, color, age or sex. In addition to being beekeeper one must be a carpenter, painter and caretaker of everything. You must be trained to build, paint, scrub, scrape.
We are optimistic of birth. We think about the next harvest when we try to recover from the failure of the last.
Beekeepers are happy when the sun shines, plants are in bloom and bees work intensely. Our mood is depressed when in full flow it rains and rains.
Beekeepers witness the wonders of nature; the miracle of birth, the certainty of death, the feeling of an order within everything....
A Beekeeper is patience personified when waiting for the arrival of a new queen, the departure of a swarm or the filling of a rise. We know of despair when a hive reveals disease or we meet death or a fabric of moths.
Beekeepers have to be leaders, speakers, teachers, referees. They must be willing to maintain a permeable mind, able to absorb all the information that can be achieved and also willing to pass all the knowledge acquired to other colleagues.
In Short, beekeepers are all those things and many, many more. With our first introduction to bees and their bites, and maybe one or two beehives, we are beginners. But, if after owning several and receiving more bites-and after several months or years-after we have built, worked and lifted and loaded, discouraged and studied, feeling the backs, burn the face to the sun and learned to accept losses, destruction , fatigue and setbacks and still feel satisfied, happy and proud of our profession... so yes, we are beekeepers."
