Reality Check by Dave Whamond for August 16, 2021

Be glad they waited ’til they got up there to make their presents felt.

Two bees or not two bees?

Flies are the least of his worries.

Oh Lawd… take away the stinging, but please leave the swelling…

Reputable apiaries declare no-fly zones.

My wife usually does that for me.

He’ll bee sorry!

Bees don’t like it when you milk them for honey with cold hands.

I actually had something like that happen when I first started beekeeping. The zipper at my neck wasn’t completely closed and when I realized they were on the inside of the netting trying to get out, I did the fastest costume change in history.

So that’s the buzz around town…

Always an awkward discussion.

Bee careful with “Every Breath You Take” …!

He doesn’t care that his fly is open, but he does care that his bee is open!

He’s following the mantra of Bee Here Now.

What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening? ALW

Well, isn’t that the bees knees?

Always use safety equipment with a partner, preferably a smart partner.

Hey Doug! Here’s a comb … … tidy yourself up a bit! :>)

Bee kind to one another.

Jeezz, how I hate to have to read Shakespeare in school. Maybe because at the age of 12 we had an old lady sadist who made us read Julius Caesar. I married an English lit major, graduating with honors, who could explain it to me.

As for the sting…

“Petruchio: Come, come, you wasp; i’ faith, you are too angry.

Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting.

Petruchio: My remedy is then, to pluck it out.

Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find where it lies.

Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail.

Katherine: In his tongue.

Petruchio: Whose tongue?

Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell.

Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail? Nay, come again, Good Kate; I am a gentleman.”

― William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew

Now to go find my wife to have it explained. Sounds a bit raunchy to me though.

he figured it was none of his beeswax…

“Hive seen better days”.. Doug said.

This made me giggle ;-)
