Ive been talking about it for months in roundabout ways but now the ball is officially rolling. There is a blog as well, but she sleeps behind the curtains still, not yet ready for her first steps.
I have been risking it all the past few months, stealing into organic Whole Foods type places and then staggering out clutching my chest as I gasped for fresh air, all in the name of research: what are other beekeepers scuttling around calling thier products? Moms honey, Grammas Bees etc etc….Natures Gold…..all very boring and predictable sorts of things. From the moment I thought about my bees last year, I knew I needed a good name, but I wasnt sure what it would be, nor where I would put them even and then one day last Summer whilst delivering a pack of smokes and a half gallon of gin to my buddy Jerry, I strolled into his backyard for the first time and immediately knew this was the spot. Lilac drapes the house while massive plum trees bloom violently above a blackberry patch which sits adjacent an old wooden ship in the midst of restoration, Jerry’s beloved “Black Wind”. There is a feral bee population there already, this place is a mecca for foraging insects, pollen gatherers. Its intense being there, a true Nectary. What is the point of managing your own Apiary you ask? Most people think income, it seems. Can you imagine me in a farmers market all weekend under a 10 x 10 tent, pulling off my trusty flask? No. Money isnt the objective here, instead I anticipate long hours into the Summer sunset with the moleskin and a bottle, just sort of…being. Truth: I cant wait. All the classes are over, all the gear is scored and I get to build everything by my own hand. Hell, most of it would have gotten done last night if I hadnt called a safety meeting 10 minutes into the project. Everybody knows it isnt a safety meeting if its not at the LOCAL GREEK JOINT, you can imagine where the night went from there.
I will launch the website soon and keep everything over there, leaving Ninja Motorhome to her own wayward devices wobbling into the future as she has for over a year now; which is to say: recklessly.  In the meantime follow Shipwreck Honey on Twitter and join the facebook group if you would, I thank you kindly gents and ladies.
Heres to the bees.
