My dad has apparently decided to become a beekeeper.

My step-mom is lamenting that dad is spending all their money on bees. My eldest sister who moved in with them to change scenery after ditching her husband is calling dad a slave-driver for making her clear brush. I'm the asshole encouraging this endeavor, not because he has any particular skill in it, but because the bee industry is on the verge of collapse and the demand for honey is just going to go up with the backlash against HFCS.

This also means that dad has promised to send me homebrew mead.

Someone really needs to make a sitcom about your family.

Homebrew mead is a good reason to encourage someone to do pretty much anything. Also, tell your sister my husband used to hay all summer. IT COULD BE WORSE.

Having just sampled homebrew mead from friends who've also just become bee-keepers, I'm all for it, too!
