The Afroqueerized Beekeeper

This Happened: Beekeeping and Beers was a Pop-up fundraiser for Shawty Got Skillz. Want to help support a Black beekeeper and an amazing collective of skilled people of color? Donate $5 Today!   Some friends came over to see my hive. Both are generally fascinated by all things rural and agrarian but neither had ever been around a hive. One donned a veil and one went without. One was on smoker duty (gotta keep it stoked) and the other took these amazing photos. They asked amazing questions and we geeked out about bees until almost sunset. Who knew beekeeping was a great way to make friends? Oh yeah, and we found the queen I had been looking for. I have questions about supercedure cells now. Any experts out there? This Happened: Beekeeping and Beers was a Pop-up fundraiser for Shawty Got Skillz.
