Those bees are super cool though. Have you been stung at all or do they leave you alone? I'd have been in the same boat with the Furher though, if it wasn't for some of the jewish folks I've been hooked up with I'd be nowhere more or less, Mr Mailer especially or Mr Thomas Pynchon, neither of whome I knew/know personally but they sure improved my perception. Those books would have been in a pile of flames for sure. When my homebase was in NYC I stayed with my girlfriend who's parents were Hungarian and escaped during the 57' revolution and were a waypoint for all the eastern european dissidents. I met so many interesting people there I could hardly count them but the most celebrated would be Jerzy Kosinski who was siting at the table one day when I came in from California, I was flabbergasted to say the least and speechless, esp since my springer spaniel was named "Jerzy". That was a highlight in my otherwise mundane life...;-)
I went with bigger, single plants this summer rather than fill the place with too many plants etc. Figured it might be easier to manage...
. Also the bees are gentle until you try and mess with the honey, I can change out their sugar waters without even smoking them. I've only been stung maybe 5-6 times always on my hand between the thumb and index. Got that chemdog looking nice too still one of my favorites till this day she should fill up nice top to bottom always did for me at least.
Funny you should say that Zeez because this is the first run that I've ever used those yoyo things to pull up my net, worked fabulous. When this particular plant starts putting on weight she'll pull the net down so my son actually grabbed a pack of those we had in a box and we set them up right off, you can see them in the pic below. I crossed some green wire ties from yoyo to yoyo to help pull up some other branches etc.
Hey Zeez, are those chinese CMH 315s?
Looks like an operating room in there
