This year we started bee keeping. Kelly (my spouse) is the real bee keeper and initiator of this.

I was working in the hive, doing a routine inspection and moving some frames around.

I was going too quick. The bees could tell before I could. They got a little restless because of it.

I was able to notice this and realized I needed to finish up and close up to give them some peace from my interruption to their day.

Often my norm is quick, momentum focused, efficiency driven.

The bees are teaching me to take care and slow down.

Some of the best times and most valuable experiences I’ve had are because there has been care and slowness to it.

If there truly is enough for me, why do I rush?

I’m going to be working to take more care and slow down in my days.
