That doesn't bother me at all. But if you told me that tonight's dinner would be some lettuce that a cow had chewed on for a week or some crickets that you had gathered from the backyard last night, I would be disgusted. Cultural taboos are something else.
Anyway, a Southeast Michigan man explains below how his hobby/business of beekeeping works. He's working with bees that are somewhat docile, though not so docile that he doesn't wear a protective suit. It's good to know where your food comes from so that you understand how the natural world works.
