As I get older, various hobbies have an appeal. If I had more land, beekeeping might be of interest although there is the danger that over time it might transform me into some sort of character.
You wander around long enough with a net over your head and your relatives may want to throw a net over your head.

"transform me into some sort of character"? Why does that strike me odd?
Hmm. Good point. My family would agree.

A friend had taken up beekeeping whne he was in his early 20's. Seemed to clam him right down and, forgive the pun, sweeten him up a bit.
As far as being a character? Well, he already was a character before he became a part-tiem apiarist. It just seemed that tending his industrious little flock just added more depth to the character he always seemed to be (and still does) building on.
The bonus for his friends is that each Christmas we enjoyed our own small jar of golden honey; his hobby was our pleasure.
