Clueless
So, I was talking to a coworker today, about my bees. I explained that the queen was the heart of the hive, how she mated, how the workers gathered nectar and pollen. I could tell he wasn't grasping it. So, I tried explaining how bees build comb with the wax. He'd look at me funny, "Who does that?" I said, "The bees do that." I continue to explain how the bees fill the individual cells with nectar. He looked at me funny again, "Who does that?" "The bees do that." Then I explain how they dehydrate the nectar to make the honey, "Who does that??" "The bees do that." I finish by telling him that once the honey is dehydrated enough they'll put a thin wax cap over it. "Who does that?" "The bees do that." At this point the guy looks at me and his expression is that of someone who is trying to wrap their brain around something, but ultimately thinks you're nuts. I spent almost an hour showing him pictures and explaining. I'm still not sure if he's got it. :doh:
I don't even bother trying to tell my coworkers about it, they wouldn't care enough to understand.
