There are days like this.
Moon got up from her nest. I put food outside so when she did decide to unload 24 hours worth int wouldn't be in the house. Had to attend to a cooking pot and then this.....

I still have the small in my nostrils.
Actually I pay people to do work for me because it turns out better than when I do it hahahaI don't think you need a lot of land for a hive or two ~ but then I don't know about honey bees. Our natives [as in the species we have] only forage about 500m from their hive. If you've plenty of food nearby that's what they'll harvest. Once upon a time most country people kept a skip or two but like so much else people would rather pay someone else to do the work for them even if the end result is poorer quality. One of my cousins used to do bees & honey straight from the hive doesn't taste anything like what you get in the shops. Even the colour is different, so much darker. I've got to paint the new hive apparently. It's a little smaller than our present one & the man has already gone online to order another & a starter colony.This could get out of control fast...
but I do like the idea of keeping bees and that's why I'm so interested in your bees Ribh.
That's a big one... YeeeeshThere are days like this.

Oh, yes, I pay people to do the stuff I'm really bad @ too ~ like my tax...Actually I pay people to do work for me because it turns out better than when I do it hahaha
& building stuff. But there are a lot of simple skills being lost because people can't be bothered. One that deeply shocked me [& I've no idea if this is a universal trend] is when my older kids first left home & informed me no~one cooked because they didn't know how, not even basic things like beans on toast or a boiled egg. They lived on take~away. I hate cooking. For me it's absolute drudgery but I do know how & when I put my mind to it, I'm a good cook. So are my kids. I considered it a necessary survival skill. Most of my kids actually enjoy cooking ~ but they like to eat & they like to eat well!
Too many years of watching mum paint & cook & worrying what was actually ending up in their meal!
Yeah, I know.
We do it maybe once a fortnight if we've had a really big day on the mainland but as a vegetarian I find I do better & more interesting meals than many restaurants. Figure I'm paying for the cooking & the clean up rather than the food! 
I found a hair in a takeaway meal last week *shudder* it was a shame because that was my favourite fish n chip shop.Yeah, I know.
