I had a dream last night about dandelions blooming, fields of dandelions and the excitement of it.
-
When I see a very still bee to far from her hive and it's cold outside, and I bring her into my kitchen window sill to warm her up and she starts buzzing around, and I put her back into the hive.
-
ummm...
when your wife wakes you up, laughing... because you were chasing a polar bear away from your hives????
Thankfully thats a dream that will never come true here.... ???

DLMKA, Now when your see your neighbors yard is full of blooming dandelions and dutch clover with him spraying it with 2 4 D :o That's a bad dream. >:( Jack

Anything you hear that makes a buzzing sound and your first thought is sh*t one of my hives swarmed.
You refuse to buy honey in the supermarket
You have your bee suit with you at all times (it's in my car)
You make tea with a 1 on 1 sugar/water ratio
You get up at 5 am on a sunday to go to the hive you relocated the day before to watch them orientate and then sit hours watching them find new sources of pollen and nectar and whatnot.

You drive 30 miles to pick up a swarm 3 foot off the ground and cry when they take flight to parts unknown as soon as you walk up.
Happened this afternoon. :'( :'( :'(

Voose- ""You make tea with a 1 on 1 sugar/water ratio""

Today I went to town and one of the girls was buzzing inside the window in the cab of my truck, I didn't want to let her out in town because she wouldn't be able to find her way home ~ geeeeez

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
You're afraid to honk the horn in your truck cause it might get stuck on for all the propolis on the steering wheel.

LOL!!! Good replies!! Except Iddees...
so.. you know your a beekeeper when...
you read about another beek missing a swarm by inches and cringe?
-
You leave your wife's birthday party to catch a swarm....and she understands!
Your favorite hat has bee poop on it.
When your lazy dog comes to look for you, he checks the bee yard first.
Hive bodies are a line item in the household budget.
Everyone in the family knows when the galberry flow is on.
Your Christmas and birthday gifts are a gift certificate from Dadant.

Sugar, poop, and swarms :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
You know your a beekeeper when you don't know the date but you know what's blooming within a ten mile radius, and you know what will be next.
They quit asking why so much sugar and ask how the bees are doing.
-
The main difference I notice between my Pre-bee self and now is how much I can't wait for spring to get here.
-
the nightmare angel > rows and rows of beehives stacked to over the horizon and I have the task to inspect each and every one.
-
my nightmares usually involve bears and bylaw enforcement officers :)

i was just looking at a thread started by perry, and his pictures....
you know you are a beekeeper whan you are standing in snow, (bundled in winter clothing) with a veil on, to check your hives, and everyone questions your sanity.... :D
-
Bundled in winter clothing with a veil on to check his hives? It's probably just a bad case of frozen brain cells in perry's world. :laugh: :laugh: Jack

Beekeeping, sanity, I'm not sure there is a question here. :-\

I agree Woody! Isn't that why beekeepers live to 100 years old? Ya have to be just a bit off your rocker to deal with the sweet creatures :D
-
ps jack, all of us up north have the frozen brain cell syndrome......... :D
"Beekeeping, sanity, I'm not sure there is a question here. :-\"
woody, very funny and very true!
-
Thought of another one today while unloading groceries....
If you have 100 + lbs of granulated Sugar in your Pantry..... youuuuuu might be a beekeeper....
-
That reminds me: You might be a beekeeper if you don't can peaches anymore cause all your mason jars are in the hives
-
When nobody in town knows your name but refers to you as the Honey Man or The Guy with the Bees.
People think you have a two tone paint job on your truck.
When the box is taken off you pickups and replaced with a flat deck.
When the mother in law gives you that look as she takes the wash off the line and washes it again on the first nice warm day in spring.
when you can't walk across the garage, kitchen or basement floor and not have you shoe stick and hear the sticking sound
