罗兰•纳尔逊(Roland Nelson)记得，几年前他从妻子那儿收到了一份父亲节礼物，那是个薄薄的、长方形的东西。他原本希望能收到一个圆盘锯，但收到礼物后，他觉得那应该是一张礼品券。
Roland Nelson remembers receiving a slim, rectangular Father's Day present from his wife a few years ago. He was hoping for a circular saw and figured it was a gift certificate.
他猜错了。那是一本书，书名叫《后院养蜂人》(The Backyard Beekeeper)。书中还夹了一张纸条，是他妻子写的："花点儿时间读一读这本书，看看你有什么想法。"纳尔逊盯着这些字，觉得难以置信，"她为什么还不肯罢休？"

朱莉•k•纳尔逊(Julie K. Nelson)从孩童时期就对蜜蜂着迷。大约有一年时间──自从她在一次花园之旅中看见一个后院蜂房后──她就一直在纠缠丈夫，让他和自己一起着手养蜂。朱莉解释说蜂蜜有多健康、蜜蜂会如何给他们的果树传授花粉。她还告诉他，蜜蜂将如何点燃两人婚姻的激情。她说："你得抓住新的机会来创造我们共同的回忆，日后我们才会拥有可以边聊边笑的往昔。"
