Bradley Kim is just trying to make the time without his boyfriend Lance go by faster when he takes on an additional article for his small town newspaper. But the moment he meets Shay Wilton, amateur beekeeper, it's definitely not the honey that catches his eye.<br><br>Bradley is lonely, and Shay is everything Lance is not -- passionate, fun, and kind -- and soon Bradley's interview becomes something more intimate as Shay gives him a hands-on experience with the honey extraction.<br><br>Turning down Shay's advances shouldn't be so difficult, but Bradley won't let temptation lead him to cheating.

Bradley became increasingly aware of how much time he was spending here, chatting with Shay, and decided he needed to wrap it up. Get back home. Actually put in some work on this article.
