beginner's package.

FMCoug could probably have a half-dozen hives out on his property.

I might have to buy that just for the hat and it's J Peterman appeal.

There is a guy who moved into my ward who is an experienced beekeeper, but his 4 hives died last year.

The son of the YM president just moved into our ward and he is wanting to keep bees (his grandfather did).

And my friend who lives in San Antonio is planning to get a hive.

I think that beekeeping is soon to be among those trendy things i.e. "stuff that white people like."

I'd love to, but I suspect after a couple of months we would end up finding some bee rescue organization and handing them over.

How would you live with yourself?

At least it wouldn't be like giving up a dog.

trust me, bees are a lot less work. at most you open up the hive once a month while they are active. I'm more like every few weeks. And never during the winter.

Plus in the end it gives you honey and wax (to make candles if you want).

I don't live in the right kind of neighborhood for this admittedly extremely cool hobby.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
