Theres Another bee keeper lives Next door to me, He is retiring Next year and he has 200 hives on Watermelons Every spring for $15,000, Not counting the Orchards they are on. The O T R will be just for 5 years max. I think I could be out of driving in 2 if I really bust , butt. I want to get 4-5 dump trucks after getting back O T R. They can make Decent cash per week. But then I can put more time into Other endevours. If I end up punching a clock ,I know I will hate that. But You have to do, What you have to do.. I can really See myself getting ahead in 3 months after getting on the road!!!

The hives Now have Africanized Queens, But by Requeening, With Domestic Queens, The Africanized will Die out in 2 months. The Exsiting bees would just be there to Rear the brood from the new queens And the Africanized are NOT as bad as reported, The U S D A imported them in 1962 to La. and in 64 released queens to breeders all around the U S. What I was looking for was Another persons take on My Line of thought. Weather or not they thoiught it was A sound desecion to make!!! Right now I Am painting up A few bee boxes ,To be ahead of the game if I go that route!!!

Well now Plowboy, I Admit I don’t know all that much, But then again Why should I lie??? I did A few hours with A mule team 25 years ago at a fair on the Sorghum grinder, But they were well broke critters! So I know I Am NOT A expert. I thank you for your imput.

Why I asked is I can on occasion get some Very nice Clean pieces of wood that are 3-6″ thick and 8 feet long. I was thinking ,That there might need to be Holes added and Glue wooden dowels in the holes to help Strenthen the Lumber, The wood I get is Anything from Pine to Oak, And sometimes wood from the Orient, This wood is Dunnage in shipping. I have even gotton 40 Pieces of 4X8X8 Oak one time!! So would it be best to Mix the types of Wood while laying it out for Laminating??

I think the Real meaning here is Good Clean Fun, the kind where no one gets hurt ,The land owner is respected, And I can say that is part of having fun, By being A decent human and respecting the person who is letting ,Everybody else use part of their land. I may be wrong but I think thats part of whats wrong in this country today. Everybody wants it here & now, Reguardless of who they trample on! (I was told a while back by a Minister I should be a Motivational speaker) If youi want the story behind that you need to ask!

[James]

Come on now , we want to Know what its like South of the Border, Whats the Lingo?? hows the Economy? Whats Land prices like?? And last but not least Whats the Ag crops?? Inquiring minds want to know??

1st to know the Rules & ignore them, Thats just Dumb! While I might get folks upset from time to time with Questions, I try and be Civil when I Ask.I like the Idea of being Able to Ask Questions and get Answers. From folks who Know ,Things I don’t. But to get Banned As I said Dumb Dumb Dumb.So if I ever get to the point where you feel I Am stepping on Toes let me Know ,As I Am big enough To Appoligize And Admit it. Was Stupid..I’ll get of my Soap box now.
