He helped me a lot and I don’t think I could do it without him
Since I was young I was interested in studying for natural ways of healing. It was many times buzzing in my mind to have some bees around but the opportunity for this came along after many years by meeting with Gabriel. He was very enthusiastic and helped me to get on track right away.
We did for a while together beekeeping and he gave me lots of hands-on and teachings about how to treat and take care about them. He helped me a lot and I don’t think I could do it without him.
The first year was a little bit hard but starting 2nd year it was fun and captivating.
Now I enjoy very much working with my bees without using any protection for hands, just for face. For me is like I am doing an active meditation working around with them on this nice buzz sound.
I gave all my thanks to Gabriel for all his teachings and help. Good bless him and all people that contribute to such nice and noble occupation.
