I don’t know how you veiw the mail receptacle I view it is as follows:
I finally got around tuit I checked at 5 am this am

It was a flyer concerning bees
some background:
Heroes to Hives program
Heroes to Hives was established in 2015 by Bee Wise Farms LLC by its owners Adam and Lacey Ingrao. Adam is an Army veteran and PhD student in the Entomology department at Michigan State University. This 9-month program offered military veterans the opportunity to learn about beekeeping through instruction and mentorship. The pilot program was composed of five veterans from Vietnam through Post 9-11 eras. Students were instructed through a combination of lecture and hands-on educational experiences managing bee hives over an entire season. The pilot program received wide attention across Michigan, necessitating a program expansion and restructuring for 2017.

I’ve only known one bee keeper, lives around the Ameek

Ameek is by the Mohawk

honey bees, I never see him in the spring or summer
he’s always gone off, farmers around the country likes his bees for pollinating.
getting rich I asked once
” hell no, but I am doing what I love to do , work with bees”
Was about 6am
I was lookin at the lake an thinking
if I was a bee keeper ,found myself in town an seeing this sign in a store window
the sign says no dogs…. do we look like dogs to you
stop dailing 911 already
and yes… I have a bee story concerning the Dolichovespula maculata
AKA
blackjacket’s
mean nasty bastards
out doing those jobs Americans won’t do at the tender age of 6/7 years old.
If memory serves there was ma and one other brother
Believe you me dad was far from done pollinatin mom
we was out behind 26
a dirt road even BFE would be envious of
picking raspberries which I view as free child slave labor
I wanted to go fishing but no
out on this log mom said
not to go out on to late I was already there
told my brother NOT to step of the other end, so what he do
he stepped off
in this 4/5 foot deep I went
right into a Blackjacket nest I don’t think I let out a screech
before mom jumped and somehow tossed me out she crawled up the side of the hole
both covered with pissed off Black Jackets
let’s just say for a bout 2 weeks or so we both were looking like the Elephant Man
Black Jackets don’t lose thier stinger
they just keep stinging and stinging and stinging
Ever go fishin and accidentally kick a yellow jacket next?
