00:00This one needs to be removed.

00:10This one will grow into a beehive.

00:24It's not about making money.

00:26In fact, I think it's not bad to keep it.

00:30But it's quite troublesome to take care of it.

00:34So you still have to have this love.

00:40I asked if I could apply for beekeeping.

00:43It seems that there is no legal protection.

00:47So in principle, people who keep bees in Taipei City

00:50are almost secretly keeping them.

00:54When it grows up a little more, it will be closed.

01:00You can see that these are all bees.

01:02Yes.

01:05Do you see it?

01:06Wow, I see bees.

01:07Let me see.

01:08In fact, sometimes you see this bee flying like this.

01:10It has a very healing effect.

01:13Really, really.

01:14You see it flying like this.

01:15It's really cute.

01:17And it's a low-frequency sound.

01:19Then you stand next to it and look at it like this.

01:20Sometimes I stand next to it and look at it like this.

01:22I think it's a kind of enjoyment.

01:24I think it's a kind of enjoyment.

01:50Most people are curious.

01:53Some people want to learn.

01:55Some people are leisurely beekeepers.

01:57They keep about ten boxes in their own limited space.

02:01If they retire, or they have more time,

02:06and they have land,

02:07they may keep dozens of boxes,

02:09or fifty or sixty boxes.

02:11There are students like this.

02:12Some people want to become professional beekeepers

02:14and come here to learn.

02:16Most of them are leisurely beekeepers.

02:20Because my brother wants to keep bees.

02:22So my mother wants to take a beekeeping class.

02:26My brother also asked

02:28how small the smallest bee box is.

02:32Do you want to keep bees?

02:34Yes, because I can sell money.

02:36Hold it with your thumb.

02:38If you want to give it to someone else.

02:44There are no larvae.

02:46What?

02:47There are no larvae here.

02:48There are no larvae here.

02:49If you keep bees, they will die.

02:51So stupid.
