wow, that sounds comfy..now the truth, thats your dog house when the wife gets mad at you and you get bounced out of your room..lmao...those sound nice to hunt in on real crappy days....
last season a friend upstate has a set up like that but up on a higher stand...he has sliding windows and nothing covering them on the outside..well numbnuts never tried to open the windows before opening day..a big buck came walking by annnnd...the windows were frozen shut solid...when he finally banged to get the window open and made so much noise that buck was long gone...I laughed my azz off when he told me that, he always does stuff like that...
in the early season I can almost hunt from my house, I have apple trees on my front lawn and the deer are always there when the apples start falling..and they pick their fair share too..

Talk about not wearing gloves. Yesterday I looked in on the bees to see how much sugar brick they had left. Out of 7 hives, only one didn't like my presence as soon as I removed the burlap and wood shavings to look underneath. I acquired a bee sting to the hand and several bumps on the face. I had to go to the shed and get my gloves and vale so that I could continue and close it up. Some bees even chased me clear to the shed which was about a hundred feet away. That beekeeper in the video has more guts then I do. How do some get away with it? Is it associated with different smells on different people?

thats a good question why some people attract bees to sting and others seem immune to getting stung...I know garlic if you eat on a regular basis keeps ticks and mosquitos away from humans and fleas and tics from dogs...I dont want to be the test case to see if bees will sting or not by eating garlic or other spices that can give off an odor through your skin...
in the past I have tried to open the hive just to look without any protection and like on que of opening the lid they sting.. so now anytime I have to go near bees, I suite up in a suite , vale and gloves...

hey Wil. are you anywhere close to that train derailment with all the toxic chemicals burning?
Close enough that I can see the smoke rise. I am about 14 miles from where it happened. We have several beekeeper's from there that are in our club. In fact, we had lunch with them at a local restaurant about 7 miles from the wreck while they were under evacuation. The lady who waited on us said she got up to come to work and seen the train go by her house with a car on fire. She must have seen the axle area on the car ablaze.

It certainly is a worry for our farmers with livestock around here, plus all the other wildlife and fish, not to mention all the honeybees.

Newsmax is coving quite a bit of the train derailment here and the others across the country. Our local news finally reviled this morning about all the animals and fish dying. Our horse vet, confirms it when we last talked to him when he came out to drop off medication for the horse.

derailment was on CBS this morning. I had a pond monday, and foundation work started yesterday so I don't know what was on the news before today. Pretty scary, and the train company is trying to dodge responsibility?

this administration killed a bunch of new saftey upgrades trains needed to get , it would have cost the railroads big money..just like this administration ordered the rail workers not to strike...so someone got a big payoff for it...

Got to wonder. When I drove big trucks and hauld freight, if I had one paint can or one box of ammunition on that truck, I had to display my HAZARDEST MATERIAL placard, or explosives. What's wrong with the rail road who falls under the same federal regulations? My understanding that because they say they only had one car with hazard material, they were exempt. I call BS!

they had ALOT more than 1 car of hazmat materials....this administration has given the railroads their blessing to try and get away with as much corruption as possible at the expense of the American people..just look at the amount of deadly drugs pooring over the southern border and is killing a few hundred thousand on overdoses.. just keep population control in the back of your mind and all the crazyness thats occured latley will all make sense..the elites that want to run the world want less than 2 billion people on the planet, they have been planning this for decades, but now they dont hide it, look on the un websight and they tell you point blank the world is overpopulated and the herd needs to be culled...and it seems they are doing their best to cut the population and prevent new births...
