Re: The Bees.
What a heartwarming tale of your family's beekeeping legacy! It's clear that your dad's dedication and expertise paid off, winning first prize three years in a row is truly impressive. The memories you've shared of working alongside him and your late brother in the apple orchards and extracting honey in the family house sound like cherished moments.
