To Be Or Not Too Many Bees


Last few weeks we've been working out of town .......way out in nowhereville.

Before we started the project a bee fella came out to pull a hive.

Started tearing off the roof and the walls started humming. Then bang .......we're all running to the street doing the monkey man dance.

Here's the project.


So the bee fella comes on back and cuts 300lbs + of honey and hive out of the floor. Look closely ....those little brown digits are bees on the floor.


Thinking things are good we jump back on her .....then wham .....the yards full of dancing monkeys again..... we quickly realized it was time to call in a superhero so we tried the Bee Ninja first.


However the colony got the best of him so we tried Captain Bee Slayer.


We finally grew a brain between us and called another pro.

Re: To Be Or Not Too Many Bees


My grandpa used to work bees. I saw him shake a swarm from a bush, into a bucket, then reach into the bucket to find the queen. He would always tell me to come look, and I told him I could see everything I needed to from the other side of the fence.

I's too late now, but Capt. Morgan is having a photo contest...I think Captain Bee Slayer may have had a chance....

Re: To Be Or Not Too Many Bees


Bee careful as a lot of bees are becoming Africanized. These bees are very aggressive and have been known to kill people.

From Talk Radio WZZR, a synopsis:

1st caller: My R/V has bees, how do I get rid of them?
2nd. caller: (a pest control pro), Be careful, they could be Africanized.
1st caller: How can I tell?
2nd. caller: Have they put 24" wheels on the R/V?
