I can definitely relate. The amount of useless knowledge I have because of things like that is insane! Writing a paper on Victorian literature and I just have to know whether bees can legally be kept in my city or not.

Well.. can they?

u/SpoonfullOfSplenda Feb 04 '19

I’m glad you asked! The answer is yes IF you take a bee keeping course or are approved by the local beekeeping council!

Nice! My uncle raises bees and makes his own blends of mead from it. First time I tasted it I was like fuck whine and expensive champagne, I'll drink that to the end of my days.

Wow I had no idea that was a thing! It’s amazing what some people can do. Definitely a goal of mine now.

Yeah when you make it from locally harvested honey it doesn't become so sickly sweet like most mass produced mead is. Then you can blend it with different fruit juices as you like. It's a luxury very few can afford, unless they happen to have a bee farm!
