Tom,

YUP! Was sitting directly in frond of the entry with approx 200 bees around me.
Funny was, every time a worker bee flies out of the entrance, it hits my head or body! They must be more blind than me
Seems the 200 which was flying on the entrance was young bees which makes a kind of "flight training"
Very interesting to watch what stuff they doing on the entrance! It seems the guards are always behind the entrance and don´t come out. Others cleaning the area of the entrance permanently and others check everything for other entrances or spaces they close immediately.

But is not only bees Buddy, I have also a very good relation to wasps! I am shocking always people with fondling them and take them on a hand etc.

We have taken from old frames the first Propolis. Weird stuff.... but good to sell.

Out for a ride yesterday I thought we were shot at when this thing went off with a loud BANG. Found these 'wire things' all over the back seat.Spring loaded system malfunctioned somehow all by itself with enough force it surely would of poked an eye out. Scared the crap out of me for a second.

What is propolis tom ?? I know it must be bee related, but I dont think I ever herd that term. Im thinking some kind of pollen or nectar ?? I guess I could look it up.

Bart, it is this stuff below. It is antiseptic etc. People making fluids and other stuff from it.
Bees but it over stuff they can not clean up like other dead animals etc.

It looks similar and the whales coat anything they cant digest in it.

We got rained out from our jungle wood cutting yesterday. It poured for 2 hours yesterday afternoon. We probably got 3 inches. Had a small flood and was covered in mud in minutes.
