"So easy even an idiot can do it" they told me

The meme features a real photograph of 17 mason jars filled with graduated shades of golden to dark amber honey, lined up along the top of a white wooden outdoor deck railing. Below the railing, a grassy fenced backyard with tall trees, a wooden fence, and a black and tan dog sniffing the grass is visible. Bold black text is overlaid on white bars at the top and bottom of the image: the top text reads 'Four years of beekeeping', while the bottom text reads 'AND I FINALLY HARVESTED MY FIRST BATCH OF USABLE HONEY TODAY'. The humor comes from the implied contrast between the oft-repeated claim that beekeeping is a simple, easy task (referenced in the post's original title) and the poster's 4 year long journey to successfully harvest usable honey, mocking the idea that the skill is trivial for beginners.
