Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, keeps bees. Sit with that information, then ask yourself how you feel about it. Is it enraging? Do you find the hobby cloying, or the woman doing it? If you, like me, are a connoisseur of ridiculous how-to TV, said pastime fits the profile of a woman of means with a backyard chicken coop and a Viking range. Dipping a pedicured toe into apiculture feels like the next logical step and is typical of the lifestyle programming “With Love, Meghan” recreates.
The duchess announces her entrance by speaking “in our bee voice,” a low volume meant to maintain calm as she and her beekeeper mentor collect honey from their hive. “Good vibes for good hives,” she whispers.
