I've been fascinated by honey bees since I was a kid. They are amazing creatures. We kept bees and I did bee beards as a teen at local fairs. Got this pic recently and really liked it.

First day of my 12L year. Wearing my Dad’s tie as I always do on the first day of class. He was born in a log cabin in rural WV in the 1930s, and was a union chemical worker who didn’t complete college. He was the smartest person I’ve ever known. #FirstGen.
