Geez, I thought people here knew kidding when they saw it! For the sarcasm impaired, let me offer the following:
if I offended in anyway with my prior post, I appologize. No feelings were meant to be harmed by my post, and I am sorry for any hurt I may have inadvertently caused.

np Benny though you may consider throwing a hint in with the wit such as a --> in the future... sort of a "indicator" for the "can't read between the lines dummies like me"
This is no shit... I was attacked by swarm of Africanized Hoeny Bees (Killer Bees) on Easter Sunday, 1999. They fucked me up. Even made the news. I felt like an idiot for a month.
My ex-wife still makes fun of me because I ran to the hose and tried to spray them off while I screamed like a 3 year old. God I hate that bitch.
I am a retired fruit orchardist. We actually paid a small amount to have some bee hives planted in our orchards, each summer, & guaranteed the bee hive owners that we would not use certain insecticides & if we had to then we would notify them with a few days, in advance, to remove the hives.
So to use bees are important for pollination. True there are a few that simply cannot take a single bee sting so they or the wife or a fellow worker will carry something to help recover them & they do make a point of not being close to the bees. Still they are like 1 our of 3000 orchardists. I picked this figures for I was secretary of the complete southern half of the orchardists being 3000 & only 1 was allergic to a bee sting.
In my 74 yrs of life I have only been stung three times & not once during my yrs as an orchardist. The stings are very mild compred to a yellow jacket or hornet that can keep on stinging. I have bees going at some lovely covercrop when it blossoms & I can walk amongst them or even on top of them & not be stung. Even used a wide angle lens to take close-up photos of the blossoms of said cover crop & some of the bees in action.
So I guess you have one here that likes bees & understands them & their use in life.
Horseflies now there are the mean ones that simply take a good chunk out of you.

There still there. I think were gettin a guy to come in and take out the nest.
I understand bees play there role just like anything else. I dunno what it is about them though, when one flies by me i go running like a nut. I know your supposed to stay still but damn....for whatever reason they freak me out
Heres to you f2benny. I know your sitting there saying "man, what a bunch pf pussies" <---- Note. the smiley adds sarcasm. Watch the difference.

Since we can't tell the tone of your voice over the net, the smileys help.

I'm a workaholic. Anytime someone mentions work, I get drunk.
I accidently stepped in a nest of bald faced hornets that had made a home in a hole in the ground when I was a kid. I got stung about 40-50 times while running away, they were fuckin pissed! Had to go to the hospital and get a shot so I wouldn't die.
Funny thing is... I'm not really scared of bees anymore. But I don't like em and whenever I see the rat bastards I immediatly kill them.
I, too, found out as a child that I was allergic to bees. I don't know if that still holds true as they say that most grow out of that allergy. I don't know if everyone here realizes the significance of bees in the pollination process. Many crops would never pollinate if not for those furry little creatures. I know that most peoples' hate for bees is based upod their fear of bees. We tend to hate that which we fear because we hate being afraid of anything. It's a natural human reaction. Just be aware of the importance of the job that they do.

^^^^ I don't Hate what I fear.... If I did I'd never go bodysurfing or scuba diving or do other fun things. I only hate things that decide to hurt me and then I'm selective, I don't hate bee's but I do Hate centipedes. Even though they eat the hawaii state bug the cockroach, I hate the fuggin things.
