I think the solitude of beekeeping is one of the best parts, but it’s also good to get help. Let me know if you’re ever in San Diego Steve!

It’s hard enough to grasp Vai’s legacy, then to add that he maintained a beautiful family while pursuing that whole legacy. If we are humans, then he is not.
They respond much more like animals than single insects flying around when in the hive. The level of order is memorising. When swapping old swarms to a new hive, I can find the queen and put her in the new hive, then empty the tens of thousands of workers out of the mucky old hive onto the floor. Some will find the queen, signal to the others and they’ll all line up in single file and walk into the new home 😛 AWESOME!
It is amazing to see tens or hundreds of thousands of them all wandering around, stealing honey from other people’s gardens and bringing it back to their pimp hideout
I used to think he was a little arrogant, but then I realized that he’s kind of doing subtle self-parody (well, sometimes not-so-subtle), which makes sense coming from Zappa. His whole image is supposed to be this over the top rock God but you aren’t supposed to take it seriously and that’s the point.
Such a great and inspirational guy. Very humble too. Some people call him arrogant, but he isn’t. He is almost shy sometimes. Exept on stage…He knows how to give an awesome show…and he knows how to keep bees.
You’re a fucking gay troll with no life go die somewhere secluded so no one has to clean up your smelly corpse.
Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay………..A man of many words………wow, you’re so eloquent.
GAY, GAY GAY!!!!! you fucking queers. steve vai’s a little bitch. beekeeping. what a fuckin gay ass hobby. i would rather wipe my ass all day long and twice on sunday than fucking “harvest honey.” you fucking morons.
