Bee’s knees

Ok so I recently have come to realize how sad my situation is. I have more alcohol in my fridge then food. Now I'm not a big drinker. Except for social events I hardly ever drink at home. Sure I'll have a single beer every now and again or a glass of liquor, but those are once in a month type things. So in a way it makes sense I have more beer, but still I can't help but feel like maybe it should raise concerns. The one good thing about this blog and my dream of crafting my own brew is at least now I can always excuse the amount of alcohol I have as a necessity. Back on the crafting front I've come to realize why more companies don't go with mead. As luck would have it honey is kind of a main ingredient in mead and looking at recent honey prices I could hear my wallet cry in terror. Honey prices are insane so I'm gonna have to find a way to remedy this situation and keep cost down if I'm ever going to start a business. I considered starting a honey farm since I planned to grow my own rye for whisky and yeast needed for fermentation, but it doesn't seem easy. One I'll have to buy land and securing a loan or investors for the manufacturing process seems iffy enough as it is. Not to mention the cost of running a honey farm. Then I thought well I could rent out bees to local farmers to offset the cost but it turns out the bee industry is cutthroat as fuck who knew? So not only are there beehive thieves there's also hive farmers waiting to shoot anyone trying to steal a hive, and somehow even knowing this some psychos still thinks it's a good idea to steal bees. Let me interject if you steal bees you're an asshole and I side with the farmer that's their livelihood after all. So now I've got to guard my bees at all times. Lastly to top it off I live in California and bees are dying out here and no one knows why. So now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place I can choose to buy honey but it will be much more expensive or I can start a bee farm and worry about my bees spontaneously dropping dead or "beeing" stolen. Yeah I did a bee pun get over it. If I do start a bee farm I still have to think about the type of honey I want, considering how different plants produce different tasting honey. I know this entry was a bit more logistical and lacking the same comedic charm as most of my entries but this is about the learning experience as well. Sometimes there gonna be a bit more boring than most, but I will do my best to keep them more engaging from now on. For now I have to stop myself because otherwise I could talk about honey bee farming forever. Years ago it peaked my interest and one of the things I've always wanted  since then was to own a honey bee farm so this might actually turn out to be a golden opportunity for me. For now though I'd like to raise a toast to the next time we can drink together.
