The letter started with, “I hope this note is found by one of my children who is curious about beekeeping.”

Clukey’s father said that beekeeping is “pretty easy” and that people can learn everything they wanted to know online. He added, “Bees make more products than just honey and as a hobby, it can be a source of extra income.” He ended the letter by writing, “So don’t be afraid, have courage. Good luck. Love, Dad.”

Amy Clukey’s tweet went viral and received more than 220,000 likes and was retweeted more than 11,800 times in less than a day. In a follow-up tweet, she wrote, “I was not expecting this post to get so much attention, but I think my dad would’ve appreciated it.” Clukey shared a picture of her and her dad that was taken the summer he wrote the note.

Responding to a user who asked what her father would think about the number of likes his note got, Clukey revealed that as an “amazing storyteller” who loved an audience, he would have liked it.

Another user asked whether she was planning on starting beekeeping, and she replied that it was not possible at the moment. Clukey said that her father was “famously proud” of his strawberry patch and she had recently planted a patch. She added that two of her siblings were interested in taking up beekeeping once they become homeowners.

Reportedly, Clukey's father wrote the letter when he was battling terminal lung cancer.
