Since my grandparents were beekeepers, I went to the bees no later than when I was 7 years old. In the beginning, I liked to see what was happening in the hive, to blow a smoke while standing next to it. I was fascinated by the life of bees, because it is a community, a family. The worker bee&#8217;s love and sacrifice for her mother is endless. There are many connections and similarities between the bee and man. In the winters, I read a lot of books about bees, and to this day it is a never-ending job. Yes, there are routines like spinning honey or melting wax, but every year is different. Nature, plants and ever-changing agricultural policies are changing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite><em>Ar\u016bnas shares his memories and experiences<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1280\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 720 \/ 1280;\" width=\"720\" autoplay loop muted src=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4958.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1008\" data-id=\"2307\" src=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4966.png\" alt=\"Beekeeper Arunas standing with a honeycomb in his hands\" class=\"wp-image-2307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4966.png 756w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4966-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4966-9x12.png 9w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4966-600x800.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beekeeper Ar\u016bnas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1008\" data-id=\"2308\" src=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4971.png\" alt=\"Beekeeper Arunas standing next to his hand-made wax melter\" class=\"wp-image-2308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4971.png 756w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4971-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4971-9x12.png 9w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4971-600x800.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ar\u016bnas inherited this wax melter from his father<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"816\" data-id=\"2329\" src=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2395.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2395.png 612w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2395-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2395-9x12.png 9w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2395-600x800.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our beloved grandma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1008\" data-id=\"2319\" src=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slabs_of_beeswax_2.png\" alt=\"Chunks of beeswax\" class=\"wp-image-2319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slabs_of_beeswax_2.png 756w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slabs_of_beeswax_2-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slabs_of_beeswax_2-9x12.png 9w, https:\/\/planbee.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slabs_of_beeswax_2-600x800.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Each chunk of beeswax weighs around 12\u201314 kg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>",
