But when he saw an ad for beekeeping classes—after a swarm of bees landed in his suburban backyard—it seemed to be a sign. Despite being stung on the head—twice—at his first hands-on beekeeping class, Turnbull found himself falling in love with the fascinating, infuriating honeybee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a new beekeeper, Turnbull misplaced essential equipment, got stung more times—and in more places—than he cares to remember, and once even lost some bees up a chimney. But he kept at it, with a ready sense of humor and Zen-like acceptance of every mishap. And somehow, along the way, he learned a great deal about himself and the world around him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eConfessions of a Bad Beekeeper\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles Turnbull’s often hilarious and occasionally triumphant adventures in the curious world of backyard beekeeping.
