Beekeepers:

The Southcentral Beekeepers Association exchanges newsletters with a few
other associations in the lower 48. This was from the Southern Oregon
Beekeepers Association which was reprinted in The Bee Line, newsletter of
the Oregon State Beekeepers Association.


They have a range of about 20 miles before they overheat, break down or run
out of gas.

Only the owner knows how to start them. The automatic choke was long ago
replaced by a hand choke that’s hard to find.

The air conditioner hasn’t worked in 12 years. The epi-pens in the glove
box are almost that old.

The steering wheel hangs onto YOU, as it’s covered with propolis. Door
handles and gear shift knob, too.

You can double its value by filling the gas tank. The last time you changed
the fuel filter you found dead bees in it.

The passenger door is held shut with bungie straps.

The tailgate is scorched from when the smoker set fire to the supers.

There’s a quarter inch of dust on the dashboard.

It is difficult to drive fast with all the hive tools, bailing twine, rags,
ropes, chains, buckets of terra mix, veils, bungie straps, boots and loose
paper in the cab.

Regards,
Dick
