So apparently our little Bulgarian zoo (2 ducks, 2 chickens ,2 dogs and 3 cats) is not big enough and will grow by several thousands of 'pets' soon. This lovely, but very insistent 85 year old gentleman from the village is very troubled by the fact I have not got any bees and he decided to do something about it. Insisted taking me on afternoon trip to buy what I need and wants to give me 2 families of his bees as soon as I graduated his classes in proper beekeeping at his house a hour or 2 every afternoon this week. Was interesting and learnt alot despite the huge language barrier (he speaks almost no English and my Bulgarian is severely limited). Full blown Karate Kid/Miyagi kind of thing happening...if only by the hand gestures and body language to try and explain things to each other :)
Will follow up when the bees arrive :)
