That was ...Dreamer,<BR/>I am glad you enjoyed the tale. That was nothing compared to the night we moved the bees! <BR/><BR/>We have lived in 3 different houses here in Tn. Each setting was totally different for keeping bees. Our first place was a rental house, and I think the bees did the very best there. The 2nd house was a disaster for keeping bees. For whatever reason all of our bees wanted to swarm. We had several swarms that year, and basically our hives died because our bees just kept flying away. With the farm we have now, the wind is the biggest factor. We have lost several hives because of being blown over by the wind. But with all of our many different packages of bees, one thing remains the same...they all want to sting me. I too have thought that maybe they are like mosquitos preferring some people over others. I just happen to think I am MUCH sweeter than Mr.NO Hair so they just like me best of all!!!<BR/>grace and peace,<BR/>julieTnFullQuiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481669514010206648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18354646.post-77665160452187844642007-08-10T10:41:00.000-05:002007-08-10T10:41:00.000-05:00Your post had me cracking up.

We would go out to the hives, keep fairly near the house, in our shorts and halter tops to collect honey. Never got stung although the bees certainly flew around us and even landed on us. Yes, in our hair too. And I hate to say this (at the expense of sounding like I'm on Mr. NO Hair's side), but...we would just be as still as possible and calm and eventually, they came out.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it was because the hives were handled so frequently? I don't know. That was my only experience with bees. Maybe their like mosquitoes, they are attracted to some people more than others.Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420110187274690041noreply@blogger.com
