Last night was the most passengers I’ve ever had in my sidecar before, and they were all girls! I’m guessing at least 10,000.
I finally have honeybees! Did you know all the worker bees are female? I rode over after work and picked them up from a post office warehouse. The box was smaller than I expected. I ordered three pounds. It easily fit into my sidecar. I took them home and let them rest in my dinning room for the night. It was very strange to eat dinner with thousands of bees safely buzzing a few feet away. My friend and I liked it.

Interesting passengers you have there. Did you build the hive or is it a commercial product? You may need to dramatically expand the size of your garden this year.
ReplyDeleteBTW, is honey vegan?
I believe you may now hold the record for most passengers....err monkeys in the sidecar.
ReplyDeleteYikes. I don't mind bees but I don't know if I could get up close and personal to that many at one time. I sure love it when they pollinate the garden though.
ReplyDeleteI was unaware that you could transport them via the mail. and to answer one of the questions above, no...honey is not considered vegan since it is an animal byproduct.
