Is it just me, or does a honey shack sound like a quaint mountain cabin with a rock patio and a nice little fire pit, over looking a lake or stream?

Jen, you won't be sorry that you are going to Bees Wax foundation and the bees will love you for it.

Putting plastic in bees hives is like my mom trying to make me like Caster oil, never happened

Jen, i've been down the cod liver rout to, it took my brothers and i along time to like oranges again, dad would hold us and mom would put a table spoon full of caster oil down us, then dad turned us loose and mom would give us half an orange to try and kill the taste. It never worked for me

. My goal for this year is to try and stay alive so i can try to keep bees alive

. My wife told me,if someone killed me,that they would never find out who done it, because everyone around would want to take credit for it

. I'm thinking i better watch that old woman, the thought must have crossed her mind.

PS. the caster oil thing above would br child abuse nowaday,

It should have been child abuse back in our younger days as well! At least you can get fish oil in a capsule now ~

Well.. actually.. i thought green beans was child abuse... being grown up allows me throw them at whoever put them on my plate

I actually liked cod liver oil; I used to help hold my sister when her turn came!

Jack, one of the main benefits of growing old is that you can get away with behaviour that would have gotten you a lickin" when you were young!

After barfing green beans on my mother I think she was afraid to try anything worse!!!!
Grandpa always said, that green stuff was meant to feed and fatten rabbits, THEN you could eat the rabbits!

Crofter, if you liked caster oil, you must have found a way to fry it. It was bad.

My sister was forced to sit at the dinner table until she ate up all of her dinner

After an hour and the Cold food was even more disgusting mother came in and said

"you are going to sit there untill you eat up or throw up"

Upon which my sister barfed all over the tabel

My sister really liked it when cod liver oil finally started coming in the gelatin capsules; I used to bite mine to get the goodness out, and it would gross her out!

Jen, the holding her part was poetic license!

brooksbeefarm · « **Reply #75 on:** February 07, 2014, 05:33:31 pm »

Beans is what caused the caster oil problem, growing up in a 4 room house,mom, dad, and 4 boys in those days, times were hard. We ate alot of beans, and after supper we all sat in the livingroom along with coon hounds and listen to the radio (before TV), usually Dad or mom one would wrinkle there nose up and say,OK, who done it! of course nobody in there right mined would own up to it

. So dad and mom would line us up for a dose of caster oil, dad would grin and say i'll get the right one, i'll clean all of you out :'(. I swear i've seen a smile on old Reds face(one of the coon hounds) more than once,Of course dad would never blame one of his hounds for it

Gah... My Bluetick could clear out a gymnasium.. He was relegated to riding in the dog box after only one episode in the back of the crew cab.

Gram could make Liver and Onions like nobody s business. I LOVED eating that at her house.. I wish I knew how she did it because I purely CANT eat it anywhere else.. I have tried to make it myself and failed miserably...

Sitting here at the table, revamping my plans for this spring for the 286th time.. Not much has changed.. Cant make definitive plans until I know when the queens are going to arrive, or for that matter how many hives I have that made the winter. Lost one through the NASTY -50 temps, and it is snowing like crazy right now. Looks like a few more days of negative temps, and by mid week into the upper 20's and lower 30's...
It is REALLY sad when your EXCITED by the fact it is going to be 30 degrees F outside. This has been the winter from hades.. I hope Spring kicks in and repays us for the struggle with kindness and good flows!
