I would like to revise my stance on beekeeping

Maybe I was a weeeee bit hasty yesterday, all sweaty from the outfit (yes there are pictures) and itchy from my bee sting. It turns out harvesting honey is amazing! I mean really really great. Tonight, we were determined to try again. So all 4 of the men in the office came back after supper, a team effort of 6 guys, to harvest honey from the second hive. It turns out Gene "the Machine" really is a machine -- a honey harvesting machine. With his friend Elias all wrapped up in the beekeeping suit, Gene the Machine jumps up on top of the wall, strips off his shirt, and gets down to business. Apparently the Tanzanian beekeeping suit is a birthday suit. Who knew?! In any case GtM was all over it, and we harvested an entire platter of honeycomb and some very very delicious honey.

    So you found the time to post pics of the lions, zebras, water buffalo, and giraffes, but not you in a beekeeper suit? Priorities.
