this could be fun.
you know you're a beekeeper when...........
you empty your pockets when doing laundry & you find bees in them.
your truck & tractor steering wheels & control levers are sticky.

You are with your wife at the plant nursery and you are trying to line out the bees while she shops.

1.  You do your first split and ALL WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN!
2.  You help a novice do a split and ALL WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN!
3.  You catch your first swarm and SAME AS ABOVE.
4.  You start receiving texts and phone calls for help and advice from novice beekeepers and ....  :)

Also, when your bee suit is patched up with duct tape!

When you jump in the truck to head to the next town, there are a couple bees in the cab, you turn around and go back home to let them out, because you know if they get out of the cab 20 miles away, they won't be able to find their way back home.

Baker! So True  :D

As you enjoy your morning coffee you think about how many bees are needed to pollinate the beans it took to make it. You know you got it bad!

When you're driving around and find yourself paying extra attention to the flora around when it never meant diddly before!
