You feel bad about mowing the lawn because the dandelions are blooming. And when there's a flower being worked you gotta fight the urge to stop and wait or coax it away because its right in your path.
You purchase a wireless thermometer and decide that a good place for a remote sensor is inside a hive. (Right now it is 94.3 degrees in the hive and 44.6 degrees outside.)
when you've orderd bee equipment and wait for it with the same antipation you had as a kid waiting for christmas morning to open presents and then when it does arrive you tear open the boxs as if they were christmas presents and gleefully proclaim "gee, it's like christmas all over again"
oh yeah, another one.... when guests arrive,instead of asking for their coats, you ask them what size coat they wear,so you can hand them the right sized bee-jacket
I love Locust trees, I have about 10 or so at the house. Just starting to bloom real good now.Helps keep the bees away from the buckeye. Sorry thought this was a post on Locust trees

When your wifes says there is a bee stinging you and you look at her and say oh where?
or when your in walmart and a complete stranger ask if you have any honey for sale.
or when a stranger calls you and says come get these bees in her tree.
When that smart aleck young kid down the road who tromps through your flower bed and puts firecrackers in your mailbox, and to whom you usually wouldn't even give the time of day, asks "Are those BEES mister?!?" and you spend the rest of the afternoon with a short person in an ill-fitting veil explaining what's REALLY inside the box.
Lupine, I'm sad to say I've had the exact same kind of conversation involving the very same commercial. I still contend that it is a yellow jacket, and even if it were a bee it is obviously male and should not be foraging.

I came in the house the other afternoon and hugged my wife, gave her a big smooch and said in my best imitation "My flower, I have returned- a changed bee" and got a marvelous reaction... or was it the Epiphany for Beekeepers I was wearing?
Hmmmmm...
>and your woman says you...
Merops, your woman has a funny sense of humor. Have you stung HER lately?
You know you're a beekeeper when you clear your throat and expectorate toward the ground only to find you are wearing your veil.
