Isn't that Just William helping local beek to check that Tinkers, Gypsies or a tramp haven't made off with a brood frame bearing HM????

On a related note - I hear that only the other day Kazmcc was threatening to thcream and thcream until she was thick.

i'm sure that many beekeepers still like a good shag, even if the requirement for protection in modern times may lessen sensitivity!!!

Do they still sell it, I had many a good laugh over that brand as a kid.....

I see that little Johnny is optimistically holding a jar in one hand, but I'm not sure what he has in the other. Is that a bee cosh, or maybe even a bee whistle?

P.S. Maybe start a caption competition?

Heh heh....actually, must have worked. I've been awfully sick for days

Does that man ever put his pipe down? Just wondering......

When I first took up beekeeping in the 70s there was an old boy in the local bka who always smoked his pipe when working the bees. One day someone persuaded him he really ought to wear a veil as a good example to the newcomers, so he put one on.
Then he collapsed in a choking fit because he was still puffing his pipe - surprising how the mesh restricts the flow of air (and smoke)!

Great Books those Young Farmers Club Booklets

Here he is again showing the correct way to handle a brood frame - minus veil of course! This is a later edition of the book.
Excellent books for use in school when education was real - in many ways!

Set of hives in school from the same book

At the end of the row they have run out of veils!

The pipe and smoker is still being used in the modern game. Unfortunately it's our overseas cousins taking a lead.

Check out the smoking at 1:43.

PS Conditions apply. Bees can get angry. Never blow pipe smoke on bees without a veil and/or friend handy.
