    Bees are awesome. You just show up and they usually do it all. They always provide the tarp aswell.

    Just realized how many of my adventures as a little boy were based on me setting out with a hammer, pocket full of nails and a load of ambition. Maybe I was sneaky, but I don't remember having to be. Where were my parents lol?

    Wife called and said my new rims came in. Pretty stoked. I have to thank @Tug Toy for that. I stole his idea. :D

    Lady I spoke with today said they were short bee tarps for this particular load... I have a hard time dropping $800 on a mesh tarp for something I might never do again. Rate was so/so but would still make a decent week.

    Glad I'm not allergic, get nailed every summer by somethin. This year so far, bumblebee hit the wing window on the truck, landed on my hand and nailed me, musta thought I wacked him. Wasp's built a nest in the hollow tube of the haybine, up where the PTO attaches, they nailed me, dispatched them with a can of gumout, then bumblebees had also built a nest in the haybine somewhere, next thing I know they're dive bombing me. Took our Jersey heifer over to meet my buddies bull a couple weeks ago, failed to tell me about the yellow jacket nest in the ground by one of the fence posts, his dog and I get nailed, the dog much worse then me, he thought it was funny, me not so much. My neighbor raises honey bees, want some he asks, no thanks...

    That sucks. Bees are fun, never been stung while hauling. Usually pay well. Just something different. I would advise you call your insurance to make sure bees are covered. I had to add it. Cost me like $60 a year if I recall correctly.

    Most of the times I get stung is baiting a trot line with bull lips or chicken necks when we’re getting ready to go crabbing. But I’ve been stung more times than I care to remember. I’m lucky to not be allergic. I love being outside and well so do bees! I wouldn’t be against hauling them but where would you take them that need that many bees?
