There was a beekeeper with 5 skeps in his garden
The police forbit that after the neighbours complained
"childeren get stings"
So he takes the skeps to a other place, except one.
After the neighbours complaining again about the new stings,
and the police come back
he takes the skep, set it on his head and walks away
confused neighbours and police left behind
 
Here in Rotterdam, we have beekeepers in the middle of the town
Hives on the roof, or in little garden
With al the parks, a great place to keep bees.
And in 1996, almost all honey was from louses
And in the sub-urbs, always anything is blomming
 
greeting, jan
