Anyone who can live through a Donny the Ram attack can certainly handle a few bees.<br /><br />And then I wouldn't feel tempted to get chickens.<br /><br />Curbstone - Let's definitely compare notes! I mean, given you already know how retarded I am, your expectations are at least set appropriately. Careful with that marshmallow! Sneaky bitches.<br /><br />Mom Taxi - Ew, right? I mean. Cute later, but now? Ew.<br /><br />TRB Holt - Wow. You just went for it. Too funny, Ms. Babees...<br /><br />Sara - Well, more like a giant nursery school, which, now that I think about it, is my worst nightmare. Thankfully these nursery schoolers make honey rather than...you know.<br /><br />edh - First, send me your email to finnyknitsATgmailDOTcom so we can compare notes. Second - $2? WTF, California? That's ridiculous. Awesome, but ridiculous.

So happy to see you keeping bees! We generally have 3 hives (we live in a much more relaxed town than you, just a $2 fee to the state), but this is the first time that all 3 made it through the (New England)winter really strongly. That's after 12 years of this nonsense. I'm pretty sure that the longer I do it, the less I know. Still, if you ever want to talk bees with a yankee, feel free to email me. You make the whole business a lot more entertaining than I ever could!edhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537872932411668279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-39748565457676327712011-04-30T18:09:55.780-07:002011-04-30T18:09:55.780-07:00So basically... it's like you are running a be...So basically... it's like you are running a bee whore house. <br /><br />You know I would totally approve of such a thing.Sara Strandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641499434694637445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-45945799503689180272011-04-30T16:25:18.448-07:002011-04-30T16:25:18.448-07:00Yahoo!

Hilarious, and keeping it real! Our last bee guild meeting, the more seasoned beekeepers there told us newbees to be sure we don't accidentally let the queen out of the queen cage too soon when our packages arrive. (We still haven't hived a package, even though we did catch 2 swarms this spring). The trouble is there are a variety of queen cages, some with candy corks, some without, and we don't know what we'll be getting. Marshmallows are at the ready though...just in case! ;) Now I just have to hope I'm dexterous enough! It was amusing to read how the whole hiving a package thingy can go awry. Sorry to have a giggle at your expense, but honestly, I love how real and raw your posts are. It'll be fun to compare notes as our hives thrive and grow! Congrats on beeing a beeKEEPER!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-3570836729581022992011-04-29T16:17:48.771-07:002011-04-29T16:17:48.771-07:00I would be that friend!

Much like you live vicariously through our chicks, I will live vicariously through your bees. They fascinate me, but frankly, I have enough shit to do without worrying about insects that seem to do just fine in the wild around here. Sure would like the honey, though.<br /><br />Too bad we can't trade chicken for honey. That'd be cool.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.com
