We are what most would call "sideline" beekeepers.
Our serious pocket change comes from high-tech
work, like managing networks and services for
Internet Service Providers and large companies.
As a result, we collect unusual or funny spam messages
the way some people collect stamps or baseball cards.
Within the past 24 hours, our anti-spam filters have trapped:
a) At least 15 copies of an unsolicited message promoting a
website that is nearly 100% content-free, except for
the cryptic comment that the website is "about"
"Golden Bee Products and Kimbolton Castle Queens".
The website itself is hosted in the UK, but the registrant
is apparently a fellow in Israel, one "Gal Moran", apparently
of the firm "Karban-Moran Eng Ltd" of Tel Aviv, Israel.
b) A smaller number of copies of a message from a dealer
in Denmark for an Oxalic Acid vaporizer made by a
Canadian firm named "Heilyser Technology Ltd."
The dealer's name given in the spam was "Joachim Schuler"
The website itself is a free "GeoCities" website.
I assume that Heilyser had no idea that this fellow was
going to be so aggressive in his attempts to sell their product.
This is the first time I have seen spam that was attempting to
promote beekeeping-related items.
When beekeepers spam other beekeepers, can the horsemen
of the apocalypse be far behind? :)
