I think A Country Year is her best, but that's like spotting the tallest giant in the room. I’ve been reading Sue Hubbell for years.

I don't have that sort of Socratic ignorance about the bees. I have true and deep ignorance, not the kind that accumulates over time, the kind that shows an appreciation of the depth of what there is to know, but an actual absence of any pertinent knowledge. It sounds like I'd enjoy learning from Sue Hubbell. On the other hand, our bees have thrived on benign neglect. So far. I’ll have to read it.

Really. It's a nice way to keep in touch with the beginner mind. Writing does this too, as I'm sure you know. Good to be reminded. And you'll love the bees. I know nothing every time I open a hive.

I couldn't agree more with the main message about beekeeping: "“Strictly speaking, one never “keeps” bees–one comes to terms with their wild nature.” It's a hard lesson, for a control freak like myself at times, to accept the fact that you can't control the bees. You can learn to live with them in your backyard though. Nicely expressed analysis.
