The moments when you stop recognizing yourself

  One day I woke up and felt different. I could not say why — it was just a feeling living somewhere inside me. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. It was me, a tired version, but still me. Yet something within me did not feel the same. Something had changed, and I could almost see how this other person was trying to get out and live my life. I told myself it was just a period and it would pass. I thought that once I took a break, I would return to myself again. But weeks later there was still no time to rest. And slowly, the other person began living my life. This person was nervous, anxious, and a bit mean. Unsatisfied, raising his voice, reacting with negativity. Impatient, not particularly kind, tolerating nothing and no one. Patience simply did not exist for him. I did not want him there, but I did not have the strength to fight him.

Sunday with my bees

I do not think I have shared this, but my partner and I have 153 beehives, which all started a few years ago with only 10 of them. Actually, something happened this past winter and unfortunately only 28 active hives were left this Spring. We were quite surprised because we expect some losses after every winter, however, it is usually around 10-15%, but this year was unbelievable. Now, we have managed to make them around 40 hives. We decided to change the breed with one, for which they say, is very calm.

I have to admit, I was scared to be around them even with the special outfit. With the years, around four now, I learned to work with them and now I love it. The sound they make is very calming for me, it makes me forget about everything and I just focus on taking care of them. Yesterday was the first time I’ve been bitten! Almost no reaction on my skin, which is great! Moreover, thankfully I do not have an allergy. My partner and I spent six hours with them yesterday and I felt amazing. I was so tired at the end of the day but I was so ready to see my boy, who was with his grandparents so we quickly took a shower and went to get him.

I think bees are very interesting creatures; the way they take care of their beehive and build their honeycomb is amazing. We are very lucky with the place we put them because they are next to Danube river and a small acacia forest, also there are a lot of different fruit trees and flowers.

It is a very challenging and hard to take care of bees, but I remind myself it is a good thing to do for the planet, so it helps my motivation.
