Does beekeeping skip a generation? two different stories, two different people, both want the same thing to be just like their grandfather

摘要

My great-grandfather, Ambrose Eastwood, kept bees in Lawrence, Massachusetts. His time among the hives ended many years before I was born. I suspect, though, that it is from him that I inherited my propensity for beekeeping. It is said that the expression of certain genes often skips generations, and that might be true for the apiculture gene, at least in my family: Neither my father nor my grandmother (Ambrose's grandson and daughter) showed any inclination toward keeping bees.
