Dachinick asking the neighbor over the fence:
- Did you have a party yesterday? Everybody danced so hard...
Neighbor: Not yet, my grandpa just turned over the beehive...

Vocabulary:
Dachnick - the renter of the popular in Russia "summer house", dacha.

Знакомый спрашивает начинающего пчеловода:
- Ну как? Ты доволен своими пчелами?
- Очень! Хоть мед я еще не собирал, но они уже изжалили всех моих противных соседей.

Friend is asking the beginner-beekeeper:
- What's up with your bees? Are you happy?
- Very much! I did not get any honey yet, but bees already sting all my horrible neighbors (he hated his neighbors).
---------------------------------------------

Встречаются на улице два кума. Один говорит другому:
- Кум, у тебя пчелы курят?
- Нет.
- Ну значит, у тебя пасека горит.

On the street meet two "in-laws".
One in-law asking another: Listen, did your bees smoke?
- What? Of coarse not!
- Than you apiary is in fire...
----------------------------------

...If you're constantly making corny "bee" jokes...
...If your first thought when you look out the window in the morning is whether or not the bees will be flying that day...

Humor doesn't work well if you have to explain it, Sergey. :)

Yes, it lost in translation. Now you understand how I feel with American humor...

You might bee a beekeeper if...

...It becomes very routine to get bee jokes from people on a regular basis when they find out you have bees.
... when honey carmel is your favrotie ice cream,
.....when most of what your read for fun is about bees
.....Your friends are not suprised to see a copy of bee sex essentials sitting in your bag
....your extended cab pick up only really holds two people becuase there is a bunch of bee equipt. in the back seat.

. . . when your grandmother offers to knit a "hive cozy" for your bees because "winters are cold"

Your favorite phone call, the one where you dance a little jig after you hang up, is the one when someone calls and says, "I have a bee problem..."

Your favorite vacation stop is the bee supply store.

Your grandkids come over and say "it smells like honey in here" (vs cookies)

Your favorite conversations are with another beekeeper

if after working hard the whole day you step into the house and go staight to the computer and click on Beesource........you just might be a BEEKEEPER

if you make hundreds of thousands of dollars and drive around in an old beat up flat bed truck, well........

You might be a beekeeper if you take hive body components and a compressor in your pickup to the gym parking lot to pass the time while waiting to pick up your daughter from practice.

If you planed your own wedding to coincide with the end of the bee season...
(which I did, Oct 15)

If most of your personal library are bee books and you buy every edition of a bee book you come across...

If you baost about how high your honey supers were stacked on your hives the way fishermen talk about the size of fish they caught...

If your beeyards are in emaculate shape but your own yard is 3 feet of grass... (and claim you needed to let the dandilions grow for the bees)

If you watch ulees gold every year on a regular basis in janurary for the bee scenes because you miss your bees and maybe even get a little tear in the corner of your eye during those scenes...

Me too. OMG.

If you always have matches in your pocket, but you never buy cigars, cigarettes or pipe tobacco, you just might be a beekeeper.

If you wear a suit to work, but it has a hood and zips up the front, you just might be a beekeeper.

I must be a beekeeper! :scratch::applause:;)

.............if you know what and why there are little golden light brown spots on your patio furniture, vans, skylight, etc......, well you might be a keeper.

If your vacation itinerary revolves around a visit to the bee supply store, you might be a beekeeper.

If you take a 100 mile detour to drive a trailer load of bees up the switchback to Brushy Mountain because it's on your bee store bucket list

If your neighbor casually asks you where you think those golden spots on his car may have come from and you answer.................. .. I dunno....

If you can't wait to see the dandelions blooming in your lawn...
