Used to have a beekeeping book, written by an eccentric who lived
with his father.  Mother died thirty years ago, they never managed to
do anything about that.  But they took care of each other, and they lived bees.

First thing in the book, roughly: "Bees will teach you a great deal,
if you let them.  If you think you are going to teach them anything
at all, or modify their behavior in any way, get over the idea.  You
are not.  This is a book about learning about bees."  "If you move a
hive a foot you'll probably lose the hive.  If you move it three
inches every few days, within reason, you'll probably keep it."

Yours,

Love them little bee-skeps
Bee-skeps what I love to eat.
Bite they tiny heads off,
Nibble on they tiny feet.
