#TBT to my first hive and the first photos not taken by my dad’s disposable camera. This photo by @cityathena for her @sidehustlestories project, called
The Rooftop Beekeeper, is in the Crystal City Fotowalk exhibit this week.

Some #bts on this photo, @cityathena is standing inside my room, shooting through the screen. The bees were calm that day as they always seem to be for company. You can tell because my veil isn’t even sealed at the top. My neighbor’s brilliant blue house is what stands out to me. He repaints it that color every 2 years so it stays that way. Talk about dedication to a look.

This is me exploring, learning, knowing next to nothing for sure. For all my fiddling, this hive survived several winters. Thank you, bees. It would be another few seasons before Good Sense Farm was on my mind.

Thank you M for capturing this moment. #beekeeping #photography #igdc

Anyway, this is where it all started. #Rooftop #beekeeping in NWDC. #crystalcityphotowalk
