I would love to raise bees. I’ve heard tales that my grandfather raised bees, and I’m fairly certain that it’s in my blood. They could live on our row house roof and pollinate all the city flowers. And I could start my day with my very own home made honey in tea and on rolls. I saw this beautiful video from kinfolk magazine and this girl even makes a bee keeper outfit look fashionable. Quite impressive if you ask me.
