its midnight on the West Coast, i shouldnt be awake, much less alive….but here I am. The Zac Brown band strums low across the speakers and directly to my right buzz thirty thousand bees in their cages. I havent called myself a beekeeper until now because there have been no bees to keep. All of that has changed tonight; little transluscent bodies buzz, plop and cluster so close to this keyboard that its hard to imagineanyone else not being able to hear them as they read this. My bees glow against the low light, some silhouetted but most clustered and therefore dark…..the others though, the loose ones….they look like little honeypots flitting around, I can see the pollen baskets, I can see the little fuzzy bodies….its incredible to watch.

Im transfixed. I cant wait to set them free……..in 6 hours.

Watch twitter.
