a local beekeeper/friend has retired from beekeeping. last Saturday at 5 am i helped my daughter seal & load 5 hives & a 3 box nuc. then we went by his house & loaded boo coo equipment. if anyone in the st louis area is interested in bee world polystyrene nucs or 2 8 frame flow hive supers send me a P.M. hope y'all are well.

Hey rober! Good to hear from you and I haven't heard the term boo coo used in ages! :laugh:
Is there a local bee club on Facebook near you? When ever someone posts equipment for sale on our local club's FB page it is snapped up quickly. It kind of surprises me that no one asks why the seller has lost their bees.

there are several old lines that i still use that show my age. when i moved to nawlins' a feller was trying to do something in a way that was not going to work. i sized up the situation & told him that 'that dog won't hunt'. no one there had ever heard that one. that's more of a country thing than an age thing.
i just put this out there. the more the merrier. i do have this stuff on C.L.. i've found facebook marketplace to be a pain and i do not do facebook socially. i can't post on local club forums cuz i let my memberships lapse.
i mostly spend my time these days repairing, buying, & selling guitars & shooting trap & 5 stand clays a few times a month.

It's been a few years since I heard "That dog won't hunt." :laugh:
Now days we have the Urban Dictionary. If you don't understand some of the lingo being used today you can do a search on the internet under Urban Dictionary. There's an online forum here called NEXTDOOR. Yesterday I read someone asked if "Gaslighting and Catfishing" were the same thing. :D I thought it's in the Urban Dictionary. Dozens of people responded to her question, so I didn't bother.

it's mostly a rural saying. i had an uncle who was an avid coon hunter & another uncle who kept beagles to hunt bunnies. pretty common term around those types of hunters. recently heard a guy talking about a hound he has that is ill. amongst hunters that term means the dog does not get along with other dogs.

That term around here is ill-tempered. It is used for dogs and old men.

I thought only bees could be ill tempered. Old men tend to get worn out.

Both can be true!
