Mike Burton has a long history with bees and even I have had a brush or two with those experiences. So when I saw this I knew I'd want to preserve his Facebook post here on my public journal.
"Honey bees in the floor joist. Major operations to remove wall and cut out comb and place in large tubs. Randy Williams us putting hoe 6 or 7 feet into floor to drag out honey. I'm looking fir queen to put in new hive. Few stings so maybe arthritis will abate. Another hive under the living room. Smoker working better so maybe find that queen and be able to move away from the house." - Michael J. Burton

Michael J. Burton Her comment is so funny. Mama used to say "it is from hell to breakfast." Can't explain that, but I knew what she was implying.

That comment made me think of an event at Camp Sidney Dew back about 1965. We were at the boy scout program for Tom's little brother, David. Believe it or not, I had on my redish wig, one piece hot pant suit, and a good tan. I know that is hard to believe now, but it is true. Anyway, I sat down on a log while having a snack. Yes ants appeared you know where. I almost took off my suit heading to the bathroom, while Tom's mother Kate was yelling, "Wait Freida, wait." Such fun memories . . .

. Thank goodness I'm not dealing with bees.

Yikes! I always hired a local drink to get my bees each year. He never wore a bee suit and was so drunk he didn't care if he got stung! What a great character!
Michael J. Burton
Send him our way
Lynn Green Self
Alcohol got him first!

Finally you did and I am glad. You know when I was renting 2nd floor of this house at that time but loved this house. I was little worried but I just ignored and knew they won't bother me as long as I won't bother them. They are valuable to the nature.

We'll be happy to help dispose of the honey, Little Red Gola Burton.

William Kolok
Oh does that bring me back to the old days
Michael J. Burton

Bill Barker
Wow

Rained on the bucket of honey and bees. Too many to move it before the rain. We were not home when the rain started. But... I am sure there will be more honey to rob
Jeri Carter
Somewhere I think we have negatives of old pictures of you in a beekeeper's hat/net and smoker, robbing the hives down at the old homestead on the creek...
Michael J. Burton
Love to have a copy
Jeri Carter
Right now the old B&W negatives are buried in a bunch of other stuff in the art storage/darkroom downstairs. I'll keep my eyes peeled and if I find any of the old photos, will send them....
Michael J. Burton
