Buzz off, bee-otch. (Haha).

I'm a bit of a smartass at times, but not a bad guy. :p

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Bangkokhooker, as in "Yeah, I booked her," or BKKhooker as in the Thai fisherman with his own TV show?

I got both a huge fish in Bangkok and a huge case of scabies there. No, not really, no scabies. But it makes me sound well-travelled.

Oh, yeah! Cannabis-flavored honey!

However getting the bees to work after a while is a problem, then they fly irregular patterns and sometimes end up eating the whole larder of honey. :/

[ Total deadpan. ]

Good question, though! :)

no, they do not work cannabis. the pics floating around the net showing bees on it were created by spraying the buds with sugar syrup

Thanks Frank,I think that french guy has created a bit of a buzz,he clams he has "trained" his bee's to collect THC..

Honey infused with liquid THC would be a big seller in Kampot.

just split 10 hives into 21, with 10 purchased queen bees. i got an extra hive when I found one nucleus hive with queen cells.
in one month, they will be back to the original size at the time of splitting.
if.................. all goes well
to double livestock in a month is a good return.
