What Got You Into Bees?

My Great Grandfather had bees when I was very young; but I don't think that is why.

I considered keeping bees around 1973 or '74 after reading some in "Foxfire 2".

Finally last year we took the plunge and took a class and ordered bees and started reading. One package (died over winter) and one cutout (survivors). Now three from survivor, two more from nucs, and a new cutout from Sunday.

Why? I don't think I'll ever learn enough about these creatures and they seem to be more manageable than cows :D.
