HUMOR IS A FUNNY THING / Re: Run o' the Mill Jokes
« Last post by Salvo on Today at 05:47:31 pm »All right! Here goes nutthin'.
A flat-chested young lady went to Dr. Warren to see about enlarging her breasts.
Dr Warren told her, "Everyday after your shower, rub your (that word here) and say, 'Scooby, doobie, doobies, I want bigger (that word here)."
She did this faithfully for several months and it worked! She grew great (that word here)!
One morning she was running late for work, got on the bus and realized she had forgotten her morning ritual.
Frightened she might lose her lovely (that word here) if she didn't do the little rhyme, she got right out there in the aisle and started quietly chanting "Scooby, doobie, doobies, I want bigger (that word here)."
A guy sitting nearby asked, "Are you a patient of Dr. Warren's by any chance?"
"Why, yes, I am. How did you know?"
He leaned closer, winked and whispered, "Hickory, dickory, dock ... "

I can't imagine why anyone would not want to see *boobies*... well, unless they're iddee's boobies (or mine
). Then again, don't think I want to see yours either. 
... looks to me like you got away with it ...
A priest, a minister, and a rabbit walk into a bar. Rabbit says, "I think I'm a typo."

« Last post by Terri Yaki on Today at 02:26:56 pm »Thanks for taking the time to review it. I left the syrup on but figure it will be their last feeding unless I'm advised that they'll use it to build comb in the next box. I was surprised that they filled that deep as well as they did, I think it was only on for two weeks.

« Last post by The15thMember on Today at 01:56:43 pm »Sorry it took me a while to watch your inspection, Ter. I was away for most of yesterday, and I just was too tired to do anything last evening after I got home. I was totally enjoying the classic rock! I sang along to "Janie's Got a Gun" as I was watching, that's one of my favorite Aerosmith songs. 
That frame you held up to the camera where you were questioning if it was brood or capped honey had brood in the middle and honey in a triangle on the outside edge. In very light wax like that, the key is the opacity of the capping. Honey cappings will be translucent, whereas the brood capping is opaque. This is because the brood cappings have little pores in them so the larvae don't suffocate under the wax. Also just remember that almost all of your nectar/honey is really just syrup, it's not real honey.
Just for my 2 cents on the smoking, I think how much smoke you use is sort of like how much protection you put on, just smoke as much as you need to feel comfortable and to not kill bees. The only critical comment I'd have is to just give them a moment to react to the smoke. If you give them a couple of puffs, and then give them a couple of seconds to calmly walk down between the frames, they won't panic and take to the air to avoid the smoke.
I think adding another box was fine based on how they looked. What did you decide to do about their syrup? Did you remove it or leave it on?
