one: 50 bottles in wadi gafar

Deze eatin’ folks may tell me ub de gloriz ub spring lam’,/ An’ de toofsumnis ub tuckey et wid cel’ry an’ wid jam;/ Ub beef-st’ak fried wid unyuns, an’ sezoned up so fine—/ But you’ jes’ kin gimme hog-meat, an’ I’m happy all de time.
Hog Meat, Daniel Webster Davis

Here, three brothers continue an ancient tradition handed down through more generations than you can count. Said, now close to 60, started working his bees when he was just 13, and now teaches it to his grandsons, the eldest now just about a teenager.
