Where'd i put that bee?

Helped get some overwinter nucs ready at the beginning of the season and another beek snapped a few candid shots. I guess my hat was the place to bee!

how far do you live from washington state, and how badly do you want to go help round up all those bees?

This happens like once every other year anyway, I'll take care of the next one!

That story led to my discovery of Eddie Izzard’s “covered in bees” bit and I’m better off for it.

The subtle, yet quite distinct, difference between having a bee in your bonnet, and having it on your bonnet.

Both are better than having one inside it! 😬

I always see beekeeper outfits in white or off-whites. Is there a reason for this? Are there more colors people forgo for some reason?

There are other colors, but you typically see them in tans or neutral tones. Part of it is that it's a lot easier to see if there's a bee on you when your suit isn’t dark, lol. Another part is that you work in the bright sun, and a light suit helps keep you cool. Finally, some beeks say that bees are attracted to, or even angered by, black. Not sure if thats true, but either way a black suit sounds miserable!
