It’s strange how we define ourselves. Perhaps it depends what we want from that definition? My parents were both Polish but I was born in England and consider myself English. When we left the EU I tried desperately to get a Polish passport.

Am I a bird or a mammal?

Some beeks here when they are lazy to clime on tree for swarm and near is plug for water, they spread the hose and move with water haze the swarm toward down to decent height.. I don't do that, I am more lazy - if some swarm occur usually I wave for goodbye.. But if swarm is lower ( mostly near the ground), I spray them and they calm and such wet I shook in the box (hive). Usually not flying and settle in a box - pronto..

Afternoon, on two occasions now I've heard of folk when a swarms in flight, they would bang on a tin drum not just one person but as many folk as possible, the swarm would then settle, is there any true in this?
Would the sound waves interfere with there flight path?
Is it to represent thunder?
These accounts are from farming family members.
What are your thoughts?

A few loud bangs and the swarm will immediately descend into the location you define - You will need my patent hand turned dowsing rods in order to select the location to direct your swarm to ... otherwise they might settlle in a location of their choice, Once selected with the aid of the dowsing rods simply stand alongside it and as the swarm passes overhead give several loud tangs on your swarm lander and they will descend to your chosen site.

Sounds to much of an effort, you could send me all that but it would stay in the box, I would just pick my tin bucket up get the football team doing the same and I've saved some money in the process and taught some educational experience or deafness to all

I'll have you know that he's using all the right words.


Just not necessarily in the right order

 

[Erichalfbee]

Quite successfully I think

They are manageable

Ye of little faith ..Finland have applied to the International Olympic Committee for Ladder Banging to be recognised along with ladder juggling as Olympic sports ... both require the pre-consumption by the athletes of copious amounts of vodka ...
