If you talk about your Honey and people know you aren't refering to your spouse, you just might be a beekeeper.

If you recognize the sound of the hose being blown off of your turbo, you just might be a truckin' beekeeper. :)

It's good to have friends. Driving up 81, headed home, I heard a loud bang and lost power. Limped up to the Motel and called a friend for advice. Turns out he had a friend who lives just a few miles away who is a fleet mechanic for a construction company. He came right over and put things back together for me. Mobile again.

.........when you agree to meet someone in a fast food parking lot for the transaction. They have what you want and you pay them. They hand it to you and you watch the worker bees just loving the caged queen in your hand. You are not nervous at all and they are walking all over your hands. You know they will not sting you. None of this would have happened prior to becoming a beekeeper.

When you and a complete stranger pull into an empty freeway gas station at 1 am. A truck pulls up loaded with small white boxes. The driver hands each of you a small white box. You hand him $130. You all drive away. Few words are exchanged. You might be a beekeeper...

I am not true beekeeper because out of all above, I have in common - using beesourse too much. I did not call anybody "honey", but my wife called me "honey" well before bees happened - she knew! I am obsessed with bees, but it does not make me a beekeper. I am a bee-enthusiast and hobbyist. It is so nice to see the passion people express to the bees! Sergey

Sergey,
Google "Jeff Foxworthy". He is a comedian w/ "*******/Country" roots and has a routine in which he says something and ends the line w/ "you just might be a *******". Such as, "If your washing machine is on the front porch of your trailer, you just might be a *******." His observations turned into a comedy routine.

That's the inspiration of this Thread.

...if you are overheard talking about killing the queen and replacing her with a virgin, and nobody calls the cops.

Three words: indoor observation hive.

...you are willing to pay for pollen...a month before everyone else curses its existence.

...wax is your most valuable investment.

...if you've ever used the word "thorax" outside of a school science class.

...your children are expected to plan their wedding before or after the spring build-up. (props and well-wishes to Long Lane Honey)

...if a state highway patrol officer has found dozens of Mason jars in the floorboard of your truck, yet still doesn't give you a breathalyzer.

If you are the reason the named it a toothbrush rather than a Teethbrush. You are probably from Alabama.

Oops I am getting off topic.

If you spend more time looking for a lost hive tool than lost car keys you might be a beekeeper.
