That's a shame, -t. Did I ever tell you about the woman I know who puts her bees up in county open space? She just drives up the fire roads until she finds a nice quiet spot...
Not that I would ever recommend you do such a thing. Ahem.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, y'all. I'm sure my scofflaw bees will find a more law-abiding home. I am tempted to just try to force them to swarm and see what happens. But I won't.
Eta: You did, Consuela! I was actually just remembering that.

-t, how about a community garden?
edited to add: In this case, when you tell someone they've gone to live on a farm, they really have!

I love bees. I wish you would come live near me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I was a kid, my father kept bees. For several years, they were on land way out in the country. I don't know what arrangement he had with the owner -- I was about 5 or 6 at the time. But I remember being able to run around the area (not too close to the hives!) while my father harvested the honeycomb.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm still bemused by the fact that you can just order bees and...they come in the mail. A box of bees! It's like a Monty Python sketch.

Boo to the bee boohooer!
I am off for four whole days! Whee. Work has been really fraught for the last little while, so it will be a relief to be away. Of course, I am going to visit my crazy mom. Who only stopped calling me daily to see if I made it safely home from work when I told her I was coming home for the weekend. So, it won't be entirely relaxing, I fear.
