I knew this was going to happen someday. :roll: I'm set up at the county fair selling honey. My booth is set up complete with OB hive. 3 days into the event I had a younger gal of about 20 complete with jewelry hanging out her lip and eye browse stop and look at the hive. Then set about telling me the bees was traumatized, stressed out, poor, unhappy creatures, forced into basic slave labor and now put in a wood and glass box against there will and put on public display. By a mean cruel person who just didn't care about the feelings of these poor creatures and so on and so forth. This one caught me off guard as this is a rural farming county full of rednecks like myself. Most of which have never used the term activist much less gave any thought about th sometimes strange views of the world these people chose to live in. So after getting a good lashing from this young activist in training. I thought about it a minute pulled the key to the hive out of my pocket all the while totally agreeing with her. Once she noticed the key I told her she was absolutely right and I was going to let them poor stressed creatures out to be free right there in the building. This, I thought had totally changed her mind as she said she didn't want the bees out to where they could get to her. I kind of laughed to myself about it and figured it was the beginning of the end to this craziness. but not this gal She was hard core thus starting in again when I put the key up. Now stick with me here people I had but one last recourse on what appeared to be a losing cause. All the time she was straighten'n me up and getting my head straight with her views she was eating a bowl of vanilla ice cream. When all of a sudden I interrupted her and asked if she had ever tried honey on her ice cream. When she said she hadn't. It appeared to me the door had opened for my exit. I offered to give her a sample of the honey I had stolen from them poor unfortunate creatures for her Ice cream. Turned out I didn't have to use the exit after all. she turned and beat it out of the area. Leaving me In my mean cruel traumatized world to finish doing what I had set out to do in the first place . Educate people on bees and sell honey and other products of the hive :-D
