I did though! Well, in the sense that ...Jenny - OH! I did though! Well, in the sense that I asked if they were Italian bees and the woman said that, Yes, that's all they produce.<br /><br />Russian bees are supposed to be SUPER hardy overwinterers, but yeah, too pingy for my tastes. I like the mellow Italians. :)<br /><br />Sara - I feel like doing that kind of research would then make me liable for anything that occurred, accident wise. I don't want an involuntary charge to go all premeditated on me!<br /><br />Meanwhile, he will have one million Epi pens scattered about, so I imagine he'll be OK. <br /><br />Anna - Yes. Annoying. And it differs wildly from county to county, so some beekeepy friends of mine in, say, San Mateo County (just north a bit), have ZERO restrictions or requirements for permits.<br /><br />You can have as many or as few or put them wherever the fuck you want and no one can say boo.<br /><br />Me? I have to pay $150 and have some stupid inspector out to make sure the ONE hive is adequately far from the property line and blah blah LAME.<br /><br />Whatever. Soon I will have my bees and that will be cool :)<br /><br />TR - Just saying *Little Finnys* scares the crap out of me. And the fact that I'd prefer 4,000 Little Finnys with stingers on their butts to one soft pink human Finny should probably scare all of you. <br /><br />Good call on the hive location. That's a great way to describe where I have decided to put the hive!<br /><br />Anon - Thanks for the referral - I'll be watching you.<br /><br />Jen - YES!<br /><br />We have four and YOU KNOW the hive I work on produced the most honey last fall. WOO!<br /><br />I'm not competitive at all. Or petty.<br /><br />Lera - Naughty!FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-23402524185187777642011-01-11T17:16:13.483-08:002011-01-11T17:16:13.483-08:00Coveting you. ;-)Coveting you. ;-)lerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915229045413130688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-76433270003172651622011-01-11T16:52:34.374-08:002011-01-11T16:52:34.374-08:00Wait--your place of employment also has BEE HIVES?...Wait--your place of employment also has BEE HIVES?

Try having them mailed to your house just once. It was QUITE the experience with the post office.
