How not to beekeep.
Bob Wilson:
I had a migratory top that was bending some, and with the rain coming, I decided to quickly flip it upside down and anchor with a brick.
1. It was evening, so the hive was full of bees with nothing to do. That was not the problem.
2. I was grilling supper, in a hurry, and rushed. That was not the problem.
3. I decided to not use a smoker, since it was just a quick adjustment. That was not the problem.
4. When I flipped the board, bees were on the other side. Instead shaking them off in front of the hive, I quickly brushed them off, thereby rolling some of them and killing them. That was not the problem.
5. I was wearing shorts. And those bees found the back of my leg and wore me out. That WAS the problem.
I was yelling and jumping and running... and yes, I burnt the steak on the grill.

NOT THE STEAK!! WHY!!! :cry: :wink: :cheesy:
I have yet to do the beekeeper run myself. It's like riding a horse, I know some time I'm going to fall off, it's only a matter of time. :oops:
Ben Framed:
I had to look twice to see if this was in the humor section! :shocked: :cheesy:

One might argue that. Along with being in a hurry. You have to leave the multitasking to women. Especially if you are going to rile up a bunch of females.

I wish I could remember what I have learned through hindsight at the moment needed. You could have just flipped the lid, set the brick and they would have found their way in, but we would have been deprived of some humor.
