I started down the training path to becoming a master Beekeeper today. My ears and eyes were hurting by the third module. There were six, and this was day one of three.
If I can pass the test on Saturday, I will be an apprentice beekeeper. I had no idea how little I knew.
Today we looked at the Hive as a society, hive inspections, parts of a hive, and the anatomy of bees. It's fascinating, excruciating, and so forth.
At the end of day three, we take a test. I'm not sure if my brain has enough free space to hold what I need to maintain.
I could probably toss some of the old sports statistics, and maybe some of the Gilligan's Island trivia. I don't use that much anymore.
At any rate, they are throwing more at me than professors did while doing graduate work in college. But as I sit here in contemplation, I think what I'm learning here now is more important than most of the things I learned in college.
