Spiralling out of control!

Yes ... just think of the premium Dusty could command with honey from on high !

And when the dairy cattle arrive, it'll be from the Land of ...

And when the dairy cattle arrive,

Don't give him ideas!
But - he could just put the product in a barrel and push it down the stairs
Self churning Butter!

Just seen this on the BBC website
In London’s Piccadilly Circus area, department store Fortnum & Mason maintains live-stream cameras to document 24-hour bee activity around their four hives, which are outfitted with gilded roofs and copper finials. The store sells Fortnum’s Bees’ Honey for £10 ($13.25) a jar and also sells hive visitation tickets that include a champagne honey tasting for £35 ($46.40).

you could be earning a fortune Dusty .

they had 50% losses. They have the bees in a very exposed location...

Have each choir boy carry a frame of honey down the stairs.

Don't tempt the vicars even further!

We are above such mundane things.


Our bees fly with the archangels, angels, cherubim and seraphim.


It's even rumoured that our queens don't need drones.

...

Next thing is you'll be telling us you are Tempted to just pick up the ruddy supers, and jump down off the roof ...
Whatever else you decide to do, that is definitely one Temptation to be resisted.

Wow immaculate conception. He will return and walk among us as a Queen not any old Queen but a Queen bee.

Formally Outlander and before you ask I was asked to make another account. It's a long story.

But how did you get those supers down ?

 

[I agree with Grumpy]

How did you know?

 

[Alabamaeee]

One of those camping portaloo tent thingies. Seal it to the floor with tape then get in there zip it up and use a small extractor, run into buckets and off you go.

 

[Erichalfbee]

OK Dusty,
I don't know why nobody has thought of this
You need one of these

 

[enrico]

Blimey that resurrected an old thread!

Looking at the flow hive and remembering Kaz talk about helping Dusty take all those frames down one by one ....................
It took a little time to find it

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

Great idea! Do they do them with a bell-tower attached?

Blimey that resurrected an old thread!

You forget, enrico, that resurrection is something in which we specialise.

after looking at some aerial views of the roof, there are some places where a swinging jib could be erected. a small platform could be constructed where the supers are placed then swung out and lowered using a counterbalance weight to reduce effort. when the supers are at the bottom the counterbalance weight is at the top so when you have extracted the supers they can be easily raised to the roof again. A simple idea that has been used for thousands of years and probably used to construct your cathedral.

Can't remember who the storyteller was but there was a great monologue about a guy with a barrel of bricks on a building site and a rope over a pulley

This is Noel Murphys version of a very funny song written by Pat Cooksey and first sung in the Dyer's Arms, in Coventry England. It's real name is 'The Sick Note', and came from an original joke from Gerard Hoffnung back in the 1950s. I has been released by many artists and under many titles including: WHY PADDY'S NOT AT WORK TODAY
