Hi
Damn, I was hoping you had forgotten about that, I was going to surprise you in the new year, once I have mastered it!
I need a few extra ingredients that need buying in, so I am waiting until xmas is out of the way.
Cheers

Do you have names for them all? They look stingy to me. 
Forgot to ask, have you been cured of your allergy yet Buzzy?

Hi
UJ:- I think you may have done, I had to start over after loosing my recipes.
Pigtin: - with about 60 -70 thousand bees in each hive come summer time, I welcome you to think of names and keep track of them! hehe
I am due to go to my allergy clinic in Febuary, hopefully will start desentiziation treatment then, then if it goes well, may eventually be able to go back and help my dad witht he bees!
Cheers

No matter how many bees you have. I call ALL the frogs and newts in my pond 'Arnold'... saves trying to recognize each one.  |

Hi
Sounds like a plan, but I need a female name, as the majority of the bees are of the female breed, bar about 200 Drones, (Males) in each hive. See there only purpose is to mate with the queens, and the queens are able to pick what they lay, male or female, depending on what they have in the colony already.
Drones are fatter and rounder than the workers, and drones can not sting, obviously queens are much larger, and can sting, but very rarely do so, as it is not in the best interest of her colony/family, as if she stings she will die, leaveing the colony queenless, and having all of the work and risk of bringing on a new queen.
Cheers
Dave |

Beatrix... that's a likely name. Or you could use the diminutive of it, which is... Bee!  Damn we're back where we started.

my supply, from an abandoned consignment dating to 1952, discovered in the back of a scrapped van, is diminishing rapidly, and this modern wipe-on polish seems to last 5 minutes if I'm lucky!
