Bees! Run!
Didn't run did you?!
Why do I bother...
Oh yeah, here's me playing, no, illustrating, no, photoshoddying about. Yes, enjoy the playful shoddy illustration.
Bees. I have a thing for bees at the moment, don't know why. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that 80% of all modern crops rely on the little blighters to pollinate them. No bees... No crops... No food... yes, I think I might go get some food.
Nup, nothing else.

No crops... no food... no people...

I love bees too. In fact I've written a book about them. Please check out my blog The Bees of Apios.

Pal,
Hive never bee-n happier you've dropped through... urrrgghh... no, more, puns...
Glad you liked it.
Wed Sept 13, 09:32:00 am
Hey Squid,
I hadn't really thought about them as tracers but a Bee Gun would be cool. I can just hear the action hero now. "You've BeeGun to make me MAD!" and then he opens fire.

Good point Tich!
Grab your pitch forks and flaming torches, get the bees, kill them, kill them!!
Ummm, yeah, OK, maybe not, I think there'd be people but there'd be a lot of problems supplying enough food to large cities. It's interesting that in the States there aren't enough bees for agriculture. Solution, large apiaries are based on trucks which drop off hives to farms for short periods to pollinate crops. The whole engineering aspect to agriculture is a bizarre and interesting concept.

Cool, another writer. Welcome to Get Films Bee-Ap.
A sci-fi style book based in a hive of bees sounds interesting, I'll drop back through your blog at some stage when I'm not on crappy dial-up.

I get a strange sensation when i think about bees after beeing <---hee hee stung on my inner thigh.

The decline in bees is a portent to my mind that we're freakin' doomed. Doomed I say! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! No food! No bees! No people!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!
On a lighter note, check this out!

I like bees. I don't like yellow jackets. I don't see any inconsistencies in my outlook in these matters.
Is taht one of your puppets?
Wed Sept 13, 11:55:00 am
Maybe that strange sensation was therapeutic.
My dad used to keep hives until he was stung behind the ear by a bee. He says it almost killed him but I don't think it stopped him enjoying being rubbed all over with lotion by the local nurse.
Wed Sept 13, 02:16:00 pm
Hey Tich, you doomsayer you, I'm not sure there is a decline in bees. Just massive increases in commercial agriculture and not enough bees to go around.
I'll check it out on the morrow.
Wed Sept 13, 02:19:00 pm
But SafeT, your outer full metal jacket appears to be yellow. Self loathing? You want to talk about it?
Actually no, that's a stone relief carving that I've coloured in photoshop. Pretty ain't she?! Maybe she should be a puppet.
Wed Sept 13, 02:24:00 pm
BTW, forgot to mention the picture is nicely done.
on the decline in bees. we had some kind of microscopic mite practically destroy the commercial honey bee population in this area. the wild honey bees seemed to be immune. the bee-keepers had to bring in mite resistent bees. to keep things pollinated.
tich; the muffin films were cute :)
Wed Sept 13, 11:00:00 pm
those bees have some serious gas...
Wed Sept 13, 11:30:00 pm
Those Muffin films are stupendous. Now I'm hungry. Everyone go get a muffin and watch the Muffin films! Mmmm, and coffee.
I have a little suspicion that Amy Winfrey the maker of those films may need to watch her calorie intake.
Thu Sept 14, 08:56:00 am
Actually her other series 'Making Fiends' is equally cool.
Nice one Tich!
Thu Sept 14, 09:06:00 am
Wow l>t, there is a decline in Bees. You Americans are totally screwed! Mwhahahahaha, now I understand your fight against terrorism, it's distract the population from the imminent Bee threat.
Thu Sept 14, 09:09:00 am
JLee *forehead slap*
HA!
Thu Sept 14, 09:09:00 am
Hey Rich,
You and Safetinspector have a fued going on? Did you steal his trash or something? He is a garbage man right? Or maybe his city enforces those rediculous laws about garbage cans with debree visibly sticking out of them can not be picked up...and so he has blamed you about it ever since? Even though it happened like 4 years ago and you just moved into the neighborhood like 2 1/2.
Thu Sept 14, 09:43:00 am
B-Hip? Feud? Garbage Collection? Like 2 1/2?
I don't think so... maybe I should start a feud with SafeT... Yes, a feud I say! It will be a feud to rival those of the Castellans and shall be passed on from generation to generation with no memory of its orgin to sully the pure living hatred our respective lineages have for one another. Until one day, in the distant future when the air thick with the taint of human pollution and our abhorrent rancor for one another, two of our descendants shall without knowledge of their familial allegiances, fall in love. It shall be a doomed love but I assure you it shall be a love for all the ages.
And gay. Yes, definately gay. Their names will be Greg SafeT and Barry Films. The perverted little shits deserve to die for their unnatural love really. SafeT and I will learn nothing from their deaths... what a waste of half a century.
Thu Sept 14, 10:09:00 am
Oh no you don't Bob Dole! I'll not have name calling on my blog.
That's just disgus....
PHYLLIS HOLDEN!
Thu Sept 14, 11:43:00 am
Oh go eat a donut you unfaithful wretch!
Thu Sept 14, 11:54:00 am
I've been invaded by republicans... Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Thu Sept 14, 12:10:00 pm
Us hillbillys know how to feud too, but we don't dance around like fairys & talk funny when we are doing it.
We hop up & down on one foot, wave our arms & spit.
Thu Sept 14, 03:03:00 pm
Pfft, yeah right, Americans are the best at everything, bah, the Spanish are way better at feuds than Hillbillies. They've had some running for a 8-900 years now. And as if Hillbillies don't talk funny! Now stop talking shit and go sleep with your brother.
Thu Sept 14, 03:48:00 pm
pass the Viagra, Bob. (and pass the coke, Bill O'Reilly) or was that Pat O'Brian? I get them Republicans mixed up.
Fri Sept 15, 12:38:00 am
Pat O'Brien that is...who cares
Fri Sept 15, 12:39:00 am
VERY FUNNY!
Of course i know what you mean, but i used to sleep with 2 of my brothers.
I was about 7 so that would make them 5 & 4 at the time. We all slept in a double bed.
We has the best fun & were always in trouble for yucking it up.
my favorite game was to strip off all the blankets & we'd crawl around the perimeter on all fours as fast as we could. If someone was too slow you'd just crawl over them. then you would start giggling so hard you couldn't crawl & we'd end up in a heap laughing our heads off. Then dad would come in with a belt & that would be the end of that. :)
Fri Sept 15, 07:44:00 am
JLee, don't stir up the republicans. They have bombs... and erectile dysfunction.
Fri Sept 15, 08:44:00 am
That's a really cute story l>t, mind you, it probably wasn't so cute when you were still playing that game at 21.
Fri Sept 15, 08:47:00 am
Hey! You leave those republi...
well I guess if we can't erect a stable government in Iraq we probably can't erect much else.
Fri Sept 15, 08:53:00 am
Wait... the republicans were trying to erect a stable government in Iraq? Geez, I thought they were just trying to lower the price of persian rugs by destablising the entire region!
Having worked for many years in the Australian Parliament, I can now officially confirm that cheap persian rugs is why Australia got involved in the war on terror.
Fri Sept 15, 09:03:00 am
They had a stable government...
Fri Sept 15, 09:46:00 am
OOoooooOOOoooo... Ticharu is playing the political semantics game.
Now, if only he wasn't right.
The instablility in middle east can be directly or indirectly attributed to the American Govt.
Now, if only I really cared. I'm a maker purty pictures not a political pundit.
Fri Sept 15, 09:55:00 am
OH you! I'm taking my toys & going home!
Fri Sept 15, 11:04:00 am
Toddle off then!
Just remember...
...NOT a push-over!
Fri Sept 15, 11:10:00 am
I could bring up religion? that's always a good time.
Fri Sept 15, 11:34:00 am
Interesting blog, Rich, and that was nice what you said about Steve Irwin. For the second time -- re. what happens when you jump from a great height and the genuine enthusiasm and passsion in Steve Irwin's personality -- I turned out to be right just by intuition whereas you actually have had personal experience.
Bees scare me, okay?
43 comments and counting ... good lord ... i should be so lucky...
Fri Sept 15, 12:07:00 pm
Hey Rich,
Why do thumbs up signs offend Australians?
Fri Sept 15, 12:21:00 pm
I once hauled a load of live honey bees from New Jersy to South Dakota. It was very interesting and educational.
I don't recall how many hives you can put on an eighteen wheeler but it's a hell of a lot of bees.
And they are always dying and being pushed off the flatbed by the live ones, good housekeepers that they are, and you are thinking "Oh fuck, they will all be dead by the time I get there."
But new ones are being born so there are still millions when you arrive. It was a cool haul.
Fri Sept 15, 01:31:00 pm
Oh Jlee, no, please, no... oh wait... I see God just turned up.
Fri Sept 15, 01:33:00 pm
Hey Arcturus
Thanks for dropping bye. It's definately OK that bees scare you. They have little poisonus painful attachments on them. One of my most vivid kiddy memories was being stung on the foot and running home to mum with the sting and half it's guts hanging out of me. Took me a long time to get to like them after that.
Intuition vs experience... they both have their place.
PS. Comments mean nothing unless they're actually saying something... or humorous.
Fri Sept 15, 01:37:00 pm
B-Hip... We love the thumbs up, who mislead you?
Do you bite your thumb at me sir
Fri Sept 15, 01:39:00 pm
BBC,
Now that a cool documentary would make. See, I would a thought it was a specialised job. But now I see that it could be any truck driver. That must have been pretty intense night time haul not knowing a hell of a lot about your co-pilots.
Fri Sept 15, 01:45:00 pm
That reminds me of the time my sister & I hitch-hiked to Texas. We road those long-haulers all the way. What a bunch of freaks.
Fri Sept 15, 02:03:00 pm
Hahaha, don't call BBC a freak on my blog, hahaha, call him a freak on his blog...
Fri Sept 15, 02:06:00 pm
OK, so I'm a little late....but that's a great picture and bee-lieve it or not, I'm a great fan or BEES myself!! ;)
