The boy first appeared at the end of winter

The boy first appeared at the end of winter. Antonín was cleaning old frames in his workshop when Matěj stood at the door, watching his hands before asking if he could learn beekeeping. Antonín replied that there were courses for that and he no longer taught anyone. At 76, with nearly fifty years of beekeeping experience, he felt tired, especially from carrying heavy items, and planned to sell everything gradually.
