I throw myself into researching beekeeping as a way to deal with the stress of every day life. I imagine the sound of the bees buzzing while I wear my white space suit and carry my smoker into the yard. I plan to drive two hours to pick up the bees at the end of April. I hope whatever they are giving me to transport them has no rips or tears or holes or cracks. I don’t feel like getting stung while I’m driving. I think I better start attending those monthly bee keeping classes. I wonder if there are any cute guys that go to bee keeping activities? Probably not but hey you never know.

While I’m on the road to being a food renegade I might as well start growing my own kombucha. My concern is that I heard that if you make it wrong, you wind up poisoning yourself. Imagine if I wind up in the hospital with botchulism and multiple bee stings. not good. So first I have to grow the mother which is also called the scoby (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast). Does anyone know the best way to do this?
