    I read somewhere that, without bees our world couldn’t survive. Plants would not be able to pollinate then die off. The animals that eat the plants then die off, followed by humans that eat the animals/plants shortly after. Something else to thank those little buzzy dudes for. However, I would have thought there were other ways to pollinate, like wind or a laboratory.

    If Penn wants to keep bees in his area, he would just need to have a marked queen of known stock…Then if he finds an unmarked queen, he’ll know its a new one and will need to replace her with another marked one of known European stock…That way, the killer bee problem is solved…

    Same here! Natural unpasteurized local honey is amazing for your immune system. A tip for your dad for his next uncapping, take some of the raw strained honey, and whip it using a hand mixer or a kitchen aid mixer. It’s amazing, whip until the texture is like marshmallow fluff. It’s awesome on toast.

    My dad keeps bees and the honey is great. A really positive aspect of eating honey from bees native to your area is that it is great to build up tolerance to native plants and flowers allergy wise. Honey is great!

    Bees are probably the most badass insect out there. They commit suicide just protect the colony.

    You can have the bees in my backyard… they are the big bees typical to Eastern NC; I don’t think they live in a hive environment, I’m not sure. They love to hover around the clover in my yard, but I’m not sure where they actually live.

    If Vegas does down with the economy you’ve got a calling up north, with nice gentle European bees.

    Two of the 7 wonders of the world are spiderwebs and bees making honey.

    Absolutely. They’re like fat, hairy beachbums. (Not that I go petting fat, hairy beachbums.)

    My Mother’s side of the family has been bee keepers. I’m happy to connect you to the Northern Alberta (awesome true white honey) beekeepers.

    lol I don’t understand the fascination with bees, I clearly don’t share it :P

    That was a funny quote too about Karl Marx getting it right but just having the wrong species. I completely agree.

    Bee careful with those African bees.

    Bees are fine, but I have a hornet farm and as a result, no friends. I like to give hornet’s nests to people to use as pinatas. Of course there is no candy inside, just angry stinging vespids, but it makes for an exciting birthday party. Hornet’s nests don’t make good flotation devices, so keep them off of your boat. Never “high five” a hornet’s nest. Hornets don’t like it when you paint smiley faces on their nests. Gotta go, the guards are coming. A vespid prostitute is called a whore-net.

    What Penn said – I love bees. Used to keep them as a kid and let the honey ferment in to mead, on the sly.

    Totally a joke, funny too. African Americans….when there really Americans. Just because someone has dark skin doesn’t mean they are “African American”. Born here? Your a american :) .

    O my god. Im so scared of bee’s, i have a bee phobia, even thinking about bee keeping makes me think of suicide as an option, if i had to be a beekeeper, im shivering down my spines here. eww

    “African-Americanized Bee’s?”

    LoL! Africanized Honey Bees are otherwise known as ‘Killer Bees’. There is no such thing as ‘Americanized Bees’.

    The veil and the hat play a very important role in the protection of the face.
