She says, ‘I thought, why not? I had nowhere to be. But by the end of that talk, I was hooked. I couldn’t stop thinking about the bees, how they worked, how important they were. I went home and started researching. And the very next week, I called my husband, Gary, who was out of town at the time. I said, “Guess what? We’re beekeepers now. We own three hives!”’
