Re: Bees

Not that I know of....this was back in the 60's, and when it came time
to harvest the honey my dad had to put on this "hazmat" looking suit and
he had a fogger, and then he would lift out these board type things that
the bees built their honeycomb on. I never watched really close because
I didn't want to get stung.

All the plants in my house are dead -- I shot them last night. I was 
torturing them by watering them with ice cubes.
