Well…it was a lot easier to pop out for a few minutes during work breaks and check on what the bees on my balcony were up to when I was working from home several days a week, which was still the case last spring/summer. I suspect that sort of nature observing isn’t going to be nearly as feasible this year. I’ll have to find other ways/times to watch my bees.
I don’t think everyone is going to abandon their pandemic hobbies now that old routines are possible again – these activities just have to be fit around other time commitments in a different way. (I mean, some people gave up their sourdough starter once grocery shopping normalized, but I know of others who decided they preferred their homemade bread and continue to bake, even if they now have to plan it more carefully due to work schedules.)
