Ooh, ooh, oooh...I went and helped Jamanda do stuff with her bees this afternoon. I was very brave and didn't scream like a girly at any point. They're quite cool actually.

And there was me thinking you were faking an orgasm....

Well done. At current honey prices, you've probably earned a whole tea-spoonful  . They are so cool to watch ...

Have you had your inaugural stinging yet?
A. |
||||
| sean |
Nope. I've never been stung by a bee. Jamanda's seem very good natured actually. | ||||
| Jamanda |
They are - though today they weren't flying - too cold and windy - I just fed them. | ||||
| Barefoot Andrew |
Thank heavens they don't make thousands of plates to wash up

Well done Sean. Screaming like a girl is definitely not good for the image. Glad you enjoyed the bees.

I've got my very own bee suit now. So stand by for comedy photographs at some point. | ||||

I am impressed.
Does anyone keep bees on the common? |

I have a mental image of you dressed up as a giant bee now, Sean. Thanks for that.
|
||||
| sean |
Nope. You're not even allowed to keep them on the allotments. | ||||

At the moment it's white and a bit dull. Do you think I should paint it black and yellow and attach wings and antennae? |
||||
| Barefoot Andrew |
Sure you want to 40,000 stingers to think you're mocking them...? A. |
||||
| sean |
I'm hoping they'll think that I am some form of Bee God and worship me and perform my every bidding. | ||||

Depends whether you'd prefer to look like an astronaut or someone in fancy dress

You make me giggle Sean
|
||||
| sean |
I do my best. I find something faintly ludicrous about me doing any of this stuff so it only seems fair to share it. Should you be giggling if you've got TMJ problems? | ||||
| Frewen Feltmaker |
I'm doing it through gritted teeth

Excellent news.
I think you should make yourself a TBH & ask Jamanda if you can site it with hers & scrounge a split from her next spring? 
|

| sean |
She's already got a hive waiting. TBH's the year after next I reckon. |
