Performance Diesel Pickups.
Farming, hunting, and trapshooting. I love farming but its more like work now.
Human natural selection= just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.
Summer- flower, fruit and vegetable gardening.
Winter- reading, planning the above, building computers, and playing with different Linux Operating Systems.
Oh, I should include mowing. I mow so much it feels like it should be a hobby.
Too many to list or even count...

I'm with Michael. Everything is interesting. Sometimes I divide it up between hobbies and passions. Even the passion list is long....
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
Hangin' with the Family.
Building small wood projects, primarily bird houses and feeders, gardening, watching birds and butterflies.
So many weeds.......so little time.
Cutting Gemstones, Drag Racing, Raising Sheep.
Besides keeping bees, raising queens and nucs, while harvesting a little honey, my other hobbies include;
Cultivating, propagating, and breeding carnivorous plants;
Growing and propagating thirty varieties of bamboo on our acre in the desert;
Growing several citrus varieties (Navel oranges, lemons, and grapefruit), two varieties of figs (Mission and Brown Turkey), and other assorted fruit trees;
We grow a vegetable garden - year-round, mostly in fifteen gallon pots (so my wife can access them from her wheel chair);
Woodworking, I build almost all my own bee equipment, but also anything else that is built of wood, including my own greenhouse;
I am a computer technician, I build and repair PCs for myself and for family and friends - my day job used to be telephone tech support for Windows XP.
I raise pharaoh quail for eggs and meat. I designed my own incubators (and the electronics), including one that can handle six hundred quail eggs at a time. I built the cages where the quail are kept.
We raise koi in an old hot tub that is sunk into the ground in the shade of a Palo Verde tree and a Bambusa 'Hirose' bamboo.

Maple Sugaring!!!
Started this year. What a great little hobby to prep me for the new beekeeping season. Even though this spring wasn't great for sap flow I still enjoyed it.
Can't wait until next February!
Oh, of course I also enjoy the great outdoors. Golf, fishing, kayaking in the summer, snowshoeing, xc skiing, and of course downhill skiing in the winter. While at home I keep a veggie garden (my original reason for keeping bees) and driving around on my tractor!![]()

The beekeeping has put some of the other hobbies on the back burner.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Since I started beekeeping, I've barely touched my bike. Only had it out a few times this spring/summer so far... plus, I dumped a good chunk of my hobby money into bee stuff, so I can't afford to do much to any of my bikes....

I grow giant pumpkins, and farm alpacas. I am growing my pumpkins this year where our alpacas are boarded. We work out there a lot so we only have to pay for feed.

61 tomatoes plants (10 ish varities)
At the very least that many pepper plants (12 or 14 varities)
25 squash plants of different kinds
10 or 12 catinlope plants
a few eggs plant
a few cabbage
a few rubarb
