There are all sorts of opportunities waiting to be had by
fellow Gilt City junkies. Ali and I
cruised over to the local Methodist church today to brush-up on our bee keeping
skills. Well, technically, we are
rookies…but we were among some serious bee enthusiasts. Unsurprisingly, most of them hailed from the
Berkeley area. We held our own, though,
and interjected a sprinkling of questions regarding monetization,
profitability, and global production.
We spent about an hour on the rooftop where the beehives are kept. I learned that the drones travel up to 2 miles away from the hive to gather nectar. More importantly, I learned how to survive a bee attack! Hint: it does not involve jumping into a body of water.
As you can see, the bee suits were both functional and
fashionable. They resemble something
between an Oompa Loompa and the Hamburglar.
Thankfully, the bees didn’t pay much attention to us.
