Varied sort of job I have.

capt_slog

I've just been and collected a swarm of bees and put them into an empty hive. I didn't get stung.

Not a bad day at work.

How absolutely riveting.

I had Papardelle Bolognese today for lunch.

I had someone call on Hercules and his army to kill me! When that failed he called for a laser beam to kill me! And he was being serious! All in a days work!

Never mind MM, captain, he's American and associates bees with communists.

I'm interested What kind of bees were they? And did you receive any money for the swarm?

My job is pretty varied. For instance, I was sitting on the toilet for my above post and now I'm standing by the sink.

My job history is pretty varied too. My first was a paperboy, until I panicked on the first morning and posted all the newspapers through the same letterbox. The second was working Saturday mornings at the local presbytery, next to my school. The priest was related to a very wealthy Irish family and as he couldn't lavish his wealth on himself, he lavished it on lovely boys instead

They were the usual Apis Mellifica, or 'Honey Bees' to the rest of us that don't speak latin.

We keep them at work as part of a research project into swarming and bee behaviour. They settled close to our hives in a large pendulous ball hanging from some bush (easy now!), we are still trying to determine that they are definitely from one of our hives. I cut the bit away that they were attached to and put them in a cardboard box, then into a hive.

Interesting that you mentioned money, because they are becoming quite valuable. Bee hives are reported as being stolen and can fetch £500 :shock:

Arrrrrgh! Escaped lab killer bees carrying the zombie virus!

You're a braver man than me tackling a swarm without proper kit. We've had a couple of swarms removed at work in the last 2 years. Might be worth a couple of stings for a few quid next time

capt_slog

Of course I have the proper kit! I'm a beekeeper!

I too have interesting work at the moment. Today, I am an unemployed policeman, yesterday, I was an unemployed fighter pilot, tomorrow I think I will be an unemployed deep sea diver. I will have the weekend off though.

LOL that's two of us, I'm an unemployed astronaut!

ballysmate

Seen the forecast for tomorrow and have changed my mind. As the weather is so good, I fancy being an unemployed park keeper instead. The deep sea diving can wait til another day.
