Hi, Folks.
Could this be evidence that a certain excavator operator just might be a tad slow?

Hi, Colin.
I yain't a beekeeper either but the only times I have ever noticed bees swarming like this are later in the day as they prepare to 'camp' overnight on their hunt for a place to establish a new hive. For the same reason, you may find them swarmed like this in the early morning before it warms up enough to convince the lazy slobs to get up and get moving. LOL.

Funny thing is, when they are swarmed like this, you can often get right up close without disturbing them. Then again, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Would you want to take the chance?

Just my 0.02.

Hi, JanM.
ANYTHING to get out of operating a 1RB with a foot crowd, hickory dipper and an Armstrong hoist, huh? Or maybe a 'Mexican dragline' or a 'Chinese Euclid'? LOL.

A kew-ree-yuss mind would like to know.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
