Fork You: Bee Mine

by scott on February 2, 2009

Scott and Marisa venture into the wilds of Jenkintown to see what all the fuss is about honey. Anne, our friendly neighborhood beekeeper, explains what honey is, why bees make it, and why more people should eat it. Also, Scott and Marisa do the waggle dance.

that was a brutal way to destroy the comb. So messy. I would have used a knife to cut out the comb right out of the frame. You keep your sanity. no licking yucky hands. I don’t know, I guess that was more fun.

Bee stings are cool. Hot? It makes it more interesting to go for honey. I suggest that camera woman and Mr T- h ( Th for short) actually take a camera up-close and personal with one of these bee people. For me it was one of the scariest moments in my life when these little creatures kida surrounded me started buzzing around like total nuts. Then a few seconds later you start getting the Kamikaze bombardments. Ahh horrible horrible. Having frames in the hive is a whole lot better for both the little yellow airplane things and me.

We just did it the way Anne told us to. It was pretty fun, but I imagine that if you had a number of those frames to extract the honey from, it would make more sense to use a knife.
