I may have struggled and ultimately failed at keeping honeybees in the three/four years I had them. But I learned a lot about them, their life cycles, behaviors, and countless other things that in the end the wealth of knowledge and appreciation they gave me outweighs that.

I may throw myself full force, obsessively, into too many things, and maybe never find the ones that stick or I am adept at. But I've tried a lot. Perhaps stretching myself too thin in too many ways with time constraints just as everyone else.

But I've learned a lot of interesting and valuable things, even if there have only been a few things I would consider myself of any actual use in.

The plus side is I've still got my notebook on bees and some experience, I could always try again in the future.
