Bees are necessary :)
When bees die in agony that will be the death knoll for humanity & the world as we know it, so watch what you wish for.
Good job on the Home Orchard Society folding frenzy though, i amend you for that - your pissy mood is excused. Keep up the good work!
(i'm an entomophobiac myself, but strangely wasps, bees, dragonflies and most spiders i'm unphobiac of. The rest of the insect world can go to hell in a handbasket, as far as i'm concerned. Just leave my wasps and bees alone.)
That's...... really stupid.
The Home Orchard Society are dumb asses, you got shafted, dude.
Next time, go to a liquor store and get you some cardboard box dividers (aka bottle separators). I say liquor store because they go through them like tissues and throw them away. If you ask, they'll give any they have to you.
Bam. Beehive.
...Or tell them to save up toilet paper tubes and make their own damn beehives.
You poor bastard... I feel for ya.
Well, at least you now know a short cut for your own reference, so you won't ever get stuck doing it that way again, and hey, you can always choose to share that info with them, or just keep it to yourself and let them keep doing it the hard way.
