> For now, it feels good to know that behind me stand centuries of bee-lovers who have had the joy of listening to the hymns of bees far into the night and smelled the intoxicating aroma of honey and propolis waft out across the room before the dawn light begins.
I wonder what that's like. Is it just another nice smell, like coffee brewing while sunlight hits your face?
- otherme123 1y agoMy grandpa had one of these (the traditional they talk about), and the smell fades away. I guess it smells like honey to everyone visiting, but for you isn't there.
- cryptonector 1y agoIt's an indescribably wonderful smell. I love the smell of my beekeeping outfit, which also includes smoke from my smoker (the beehives themselves don't smell of smoke though). You can buy propolis products and get a very slight idea. You might want to take a class in beekeeping, one where they take you to do some actual hive inspections. You'll need a beekeeper's suit.
