The real Itsy and Bitsy

are you fuckers mocking my thread?

Ohhh! I love Itsy and Bitsy!

No, we is extra disrespectin' it.

I always talk to my girls... Bees can't hear per se, but they feel vibrations so maybe it gets through to them. I had 3 hives die this winter, so am starting 2 more. In the second photo, the queen has a blue dot on her back for easy identification amongst the crowd. The impression I get is that there was a lot of winter loss this year. I'm just doing it for fun and some honey, and it's good for the gardens!

Dear Spiderman,


oh...wait...

Dear Earwigs:

No one likes you. You are grosser than gross. Why do you think you have to crawl around with those little pincher looking thingies on your stupid head? Do you actually bite, or do those pinchers work?

I bet you think this is going to be your year. A lot of rain, hot temps coming. Well, Mr Earwig, you have another think coming. Get off my lawn!

(Little known fact: there are no one letter words in the insect language.)

Hey mosquitoes, suck on this, assholes.

When my Dad hears someone talking to a wasp (Shoo! Get Away! Don't you come near me etc) he always shakes his head sadly and says, "As if it can understand..."

and then adds, "... everyone knows wasps speak German!"

It's a Daddism. Repeated ad nauseum, and then out of the other side to become funny again. My bro and I had a smattering of German, so always tried to back my Dad up on this. Unfortunately it's been years since either of us learned, and even though my nephew is taking German now, he's not what you'd call an avid student. He sees our family joke as a sneaky way to test him and won't join in.

Solution to Yesterday's bee-ogram:

Well geez spexx. Now my response seems almost nonsensical.

Nowhereman, I like your bees! :)

Nowhereman - Do you sell the wax? I use it for making lube (cartridge).
