We have been thinking about it too, since my wife does so much gardening, and also because it seems like the more beekeepers there are, the better shot we have at not losing them all forever. There are often hives for free on Craigslist, and the boxes and stuff can also be found cheaply there. Also, I use honey constantly, in most of my cooking. If a recipe calls for sugar, I reach for honey. It just has this beautiful, fully developed signature in everything it goes into, like eating a flower.
Oh, I suppose I should say something about tea and coffee. Um, they're both okay I guess. Coffee tastes an awful lot like burnt water unless you add stuff to it, but I have acquired a taste for coffee black. I just don't choose that very often. Tea, I prefer, no joke, Earl Grey, hot. I can drink it straight up, but since it already tastes like drinking a flower a little bit, why not add the aforementioned honey and just go whole hog with it?
