This is a normal post My parents have decided to take up bee-keeping.
They're going to a bee auction in Lincoln on Saturday. For some reason, I'm made very happy by the thought that there exists such a thing as a bee auction.

This is a normal post I have a sudden urge to go to Lincoln now
and inflate the price of bees artificially by raising my hand at inopportune moments.

This is a normal post and do you pay per bee, or per 1000 bees, per hive?
The people must be told!

This is a normal post In my head, it's per bee.
So the auction takes ages as the auctioneer has to do each individually. What with viewing and so on, it gets very complicated.

In reality, I think they sell them per nucleus - that is, queen and retinue (or whatever you call the non-queens in a hive).

How my folks're going to get them from Lincoln back to Stoke is anyone's guess. And is getting bees like getting a cat, in that you have to keep them indoors for a couple of weeks so they don't run off?

Soooooo many questions.

This is a normal post Wasps are where the real money is these days. As everyone knows
bees make honey but wasps make jam.

This is a normal post I recognise this joke from somewhere,
though in the version I heard, I think that wasps made mustard.

But it's annoying me now, because I can't remember where I heard it.

This is a normal post not heard the mustard one, although I am equally annoyed
as I can't remember where I heard the jam one.

This is a normal post M'lady recently did a course on beekeeping.
Many of the idyllic dreamers on the course were disappointed to learn that you should have a high fence between your house and the hives if you have pets and children.
Because bees have quite a sluggish take-off, apparently they don't like exploring behind large obstacles as it means that, if threatened, they have that much more difficult an escape route.

This is third-hand information. Please don't grill me on it.

This is a normal post my parents kept bees
when we were all little. They had them for years in the garden and none of us kids ever got stung. Two weeks after they got rid of them I was stung for the first time ever. I squashed the stripey little git. I was sick of honey.
