    Beekeeping! 🐝

    Homies are dying off and it seems like a way to help them and the world at large, even just a little bit.

    The bar for entry, however - having a property with a large open space + learning how to do it safely + general time & material resources + not having enough generational wealth to retire early and comfortably to do these things I’d like - means that it’s unlikely to ever happen. The thought of it is nice, though.

      You don’t need that much space, I knew a guy with about 2mx2m space in his garden for the hive and that was it. It’s not like raising animals they just fly where ever

      But beekeping is for honey bees, they’re not in danger.

      A lot of wild bees are in danger, though, but they’re usually not domesticated.
