When he returned to the country in June, he went back to his ordinary occupations – husbandry, intercourse with the peasants and with his neighbours, management of his house and of his sister's and brother's affairs, which were entrusted to him, relations with his wife and relatives, cares about his baby, and a new hobby – beekeeping, which he took up with enthusiasm that spring – occupied all his time.
Al regresar al campo en los primeros días del mes de junio, Levin volvió a sus habituales ocupaciones; y los trabajos agrícolas, sus tratos con los labriegos, sus relaciones con familiares, amigos y conocidos, los pequeños problemas de su casa, los asuntos que sus hermanos le tenían encargados, la educación de su hijo, la nueva obra en el colmenar que había comenzado aquella primavera, todo esto ocupaba totalmente su tiempo.
