For the days when everything feels too much

  Some days feel like a nightmare — full of pressure and rush. On those days I feel tired, overwhelmed, chased by tasks. It feels like my head is going to explode. Everything slips through my fingers and I lose control, unable to do anything and forced to do everything at the same time. The pressure squeezes me in a deadly hug, trying to drain all my energy and leave me barely breathing on the floor. It feels like there is a fog around me and my mind tries to see through it. Everything becomes too loud, too fast, or sometimes painfully slow. Anxiety fills my body like poison. When I feel that I’m losing the present from my sight, I try to stop and breathe. I take a small moment for myself — closing my eyes, trying to find the safe space in my soul, the refuge inside my body — and I tell myself: Everything will be fine. This will pass.

Sunday with my bees

 

honey,bees,flowers

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.
