1) When the honey packer tells you times are tough and he cant pay very much this year(did he ever?), DO not comment on the yacht club paperwork you see in his office.
2) Do not use a propane soldering torch to light your smoker then throw it in the cab of your nicest tandem Frieghtliner..................while still lit. Appearently Allison Automatic Transmissions WILL put themselves in gear once the insulation burns off of the wires. Rollin Rollin Rollin.......keep them fireballs rollin.......
3) do not bite the hand that feeds you.
4) No matter how slow the honey is coming out of holding tank.... when the barrels full, the honey starts coming out real fast.
5) Horses and bees do not mix!!!
6) Don't take your wife along when your hauling package bees out of California, trying to mix pleasure with buissness.
7) Don't cut out swarm cells until you're sure the old queen is still in the house.
8) NEVER squish an old queen on the tree in your bee yard. The girls just don't like that.
9) Do not count on a honey crop every year.
10) Allways check your valve on the bottom of your feed storage tank before you have a tanker of syurp come and fill it!! 1500 gallons of corn syurp sure makes mess on the ground.
11) Do not park your truck in tall grass after the engine is hot. The catalytic converters will easily set the grass a fire. More than one farmer has looked back from his tractor to see the grass under his truck on fire.
12) Never ever attempt to do any other activity while drumming honey.
