what's this brown stuff?

[oliver90owner]

No. You give it over. Get it right. There are a lot of inexperienced beeks - some new starters that haven't even read as good beekeeping book - and you are telling them untruths. Get it right. Slovenly reporting is unacceptable, as is getting it wrong.

Soon you will be using any and every excuse for making untrue statements.

Assuming people will know what it means is assuming - and assuming is, more often than not, a poor policy. Time and time and time again those new beeks would assume that to be true. 'Been told it on the beekeeping forum and nobody challenged it, so it must be true'.

While we are on the subject, I very much doubt that bees discard anything that is still useful, so I would disgree with that one as well.

could bee bee crap if they haven`t been out for a while ,either this months beecraft or bbka newsletter had a couple of pics and a graph of bees one with a small normal amount of poo and another waiting for cleansing flight , virtually the whole abdomen was full of poo.

How dare you say I'm telling them untruths.

On this thread some suggested the 'globs' were bee poo. What I said about bee poo is correct with respect to healthy bees.

With your comment about them reading books, by your own admission you didn't even know about J.D & B.D. Yates, so what exams did you prepare for if any?

You have a combative tone about your posts but I take it that this is your personality and unfortunately you can not do anything about that.

You were so quick to attack me the other day that you had to apologize.

You will not bully me out of here.

 

[oliver90owner]

Get real. Just post the truth not just assume everyone one knows all the qualifications.

The other day was simply a case of mistaken identity. The facts I was referring to were not, on that occasion, yours. I was sorry about that but that is no excuse to only post the half truth, eapecially discounting the possibility of nosema to all the new beeks out there reading your version, or yates.

Let me remind you of your simplistic statement: 'Bees are very clean and will only vent outside the hive.' (my underlining)

Says it all, really. Either you were wrong or I was wrong. Fairly clear to me.

 

[huntsman666]

Sad to see you're reduced to a being a damn nit-picker.

If this is the only outlet for you to appear important just come out and say so. I'm sure everyone will be happy to let you be the only one to answer queries. How long the forum would last is another matter.

Quit your bullying, this is not acceptable anywhere, even on what should be a polite beekeeping forum.

Guys?

Kick the ball not the player is the ethos here, and both of you may well be wrong, as in misreading each others posts, so back off please and relax.

Poly Hive. I don't attack Oliver, he attacks me.

I'm only being reactive and I will indeed defend myself. I have asked him numerous times to stop his attacks.

And from your other post:

"Soon you will be using any and every excuse for making untrue statements."

So you see fit to make excuses like 'mistaken identity' while you think others are wrong for correcting their mistakes or 'making excuses'.

Who on earth do you think you are that you think people would make excuses, to you, for something they have said, mistakenly or otherwise.

Huntsman 666, you said/used the following in referring to Oliver 90:

that he discredits others.

"Sad to see you're reduced to a being a damn nit-picker."

about this annoying little tick, for whose behaviour we've made excuses.

We thought he'd suffered a mental shock on setting fire to his vehicle and this has caused him to deteriorate even further into the deplorable conduct he has increasingly exhibited on this forum.

RAB if it is senility that is causing your deteriorating dreadful behaviour, you and your wife have our sympathies; particularly your wife.

You have your 'favourites' to be a focus for your bile and Huntsman 666 is one of them.

It may be you need counselling for the trauma of finding you had been so negligent as to set fire to your vehicle and placed the lives of others in danger.

It may be you need to take time to consider your ramblings and shabby manners and ponder what spurs your vitriol toward those who have the ethos of discussion and learning at the heart of these forums.

Another positive is that your posts, in relation to bee husbandry, are/were interesting.

Try to re-establish that, for the benefit of the forum.

I can see that when the cabin fever cuts in, then by about March no one will be talking to anyone

It going to be a long winter

 

[Black Comb]

Unfortunately it's the way this forum is going MM.
Too picky and rabid a lot of the time.

It's time Mark sorted this out, I'm fed up with it.

 

[zubzub]

BBG I feel your post /attack on o90o is uncalled for things in his personal life should NOT be displayed on here. you should be ashamed of yourself.
A lot of good information comes from this poster so don`t be too hasty in shooting down his comments.
Just remember based on your train of thought at the time of reading a post.
What can be misunderstood will be misunderstood.

Theres over 200 on the forum at the moment, maybe people enjoy reading through the occasional spat. This is the first forum I've taken part in and its interesting to see how different caracters come across - I'm pretty sure everyone gets missunderstood now and again and others possibly deliberately missunderstand and enjoy an argument

This man has been insulting and foul mouthed to a far greater degree, particularly in a personal nature, to me and others than anyone of reasonable intelligence, manners and conduct would even consider.

Hence, he reaps a little of what he sows.

I have referred to his sometimes informative posts in my last one.

I do not name call him or slur his character, which is his modus operandi. I merely suggest he gets help to restore the equilibrium that the overriding majority on these forums demonstrate every day.

Before you make a judgement, study his foul conduct toward me and others.

It's alphabetic-binary!

and 'doesn't think' are the operative words!

Rabs tone sometimes is beyond the pale, I pity the poor archers.

Really:

Your post states:

RAB if it is senility that is causing your deteriorating dreadful behaviour, you and your wife have our sympathies; particularly your wife.

and so replying in this way will help resolve the situation.
I don`t think so.

AND getting back to the op what do we think the brown stuff is?

[BBG]

Those are observations on his behaviour.

I have not called him names as he has me and others in his vitriolic outbursts. Perhaps 'annoying little tick' is giving myself a little latitude but it's hardly going to instigate a reaction other than mild indignation; unless there are deep-rooted problems.

As PH has stated (ish) kick the ball, not what ever??? - sooooo - the brown stuff - I was told but can't remember! It might come back to me tomorrow.
