I've done my share of wierd activities in my time. I SCUBA dived for years, Mountain biked, pottered around in the Territorial Army and a few other bits and bobs here and there. Nothing, however, has piqued people's interest quite as much as when it emerges that I keep bees.
There's not one person that I've spoken to when it's come up that hasn't stopped dead in their tracks and wanted to know more. In some cases it's been related to the "OMG teh Bees are dying!!1!" coverage in the press, but for the most part people are just fascinated by these little insects and want to know more about the hive and, especially, the bees themselves.
There's also a, to me, surprising number of people who want to come along to my apiary and watch what I'm doing, I guess I need a spare veil.
