I worked many years ago as an electrician during the summers for my Fathers company when I was in College. I was put on a project with this old timer who insisted I show up 30 minutes before anyone else, so he could teach me things (ummm Ok). So this guy DEVOURED coffee and at the time I was quite peckish about the stuff. I got in the habit of making the first (of many) pots for this guy Bill. I kind of felt the pressure to drink it with him since it was just the two of us. He drank his straight. Now this was horrible stuff to me so I added plenty of sugar and the powdered creamer (bleh) to mine. Oh, after about three weeks of this he quipped to me.........

"You can tell a lot about a man by the way he takes his coffee". WTF???? Bastard! i stopped drinking that crap after that one...

Now I love it.....

he was a ace electrician though.....but still....

OMG...yes that will do it. One of my first meetings with my wifes sister and husband,we went to their house and they loved coffee. So after dinner Jim says, "I'm making coffee, want some"?

Sure i said. Well he whips out Maxwell House instant. I almost gagged on the stuff. So much for their taste buds....

Try to get your hands on some Peet's coffee. I get it shipped straight to my home and it is roasted less than a week before I get it....oily and awesome, and about the same price as Starbucks (bleh).

get some tetleys

I drink that straight as well....

red rose with just a little honey

 

[CrackerJax]

Honey is fantastic. I put it on my ice cream....

I have a wild bee colony living in one of my sheds. They have been there for five years now in between the walls. They used to get pissed at my tractor but have since adjusted. Never stand by the entrance though.... They don't mind me at all but when they are coming back to the hive....the definition of the word "beeline" becomes apparent. I thought i was being hit by a pellet gun! No stings, they just bounced off of me and kept going. Uhh, pardon me.

 

[robert 14617]

i had to deal with a colony of the small mexican bee's they were as tenacious as the africanized bees,when i was still living in rio hondo tex

 

[CrackerJax]

Heh, It just occurred to me that last year I kept a male plant FAR away from my fem plants and yet they were pollinated. I was like WTH? heh, those darn bees.

 

[grow space]

back in the day we had in our back-garden 6 bee hives, living in a bee-house(sorry-dont know the english word 4 that)I hated those fuckers cause one hive was really angry and one day a relative of mine let her dog lose and those angry fuckers sting that poor dog so many times that the dog died later on.after getting rid of the hive, i discovered that ants was nesting there to, and thats probably what made them so mad-but yes, honey is really good, especially when your sick-treats your throat just right.

I had a swarm almost drown me once..they chased me into the quarry and every time I came up they were there...........

I watched a cool show about the Africanization of the common honeybee, some mighty pissed bee's... good thing they (HB) aren't the size of the Africans...

 

[CrackerJax]

Yah, my cousin is convinced mine are africanized...pish tosh. They know me either way and my dogs, never a problem.

I had this wasp nest near my front door a few years back and it was the same thing. They have a guard who sentinels a few feet from the nest. He would come over and do a fly by as I came out of the house. After awhile that sucker would land on me if I sat on the stoop. Never stung me, but I put out that calm vibe. I've spent most of my life in the wild and have picked up the rhythm secret.

I have an old barn I don't use anymore and I found this in the old barn last week...

 

[CrackerJax]

Oh, that's a mammyjammer Hornet's nest. Now those guys have an ATTITUDE. Total bee killers......bad ass.

 

[robert 14617]

my dads boat had one of those yellow wasp bastard nests in it they built in the bow under the seat

 

[tipsgnob]

when I went in the barn I heard them before I saw the nest. sounded like an electrical motor humming. and when I saw them I thought they were hummingbirds...they are huge.
