However, I will learn to make wine so if somebody wants to trade me something spectacular like honey, I will have the barter tool. AND, wine keeps Lloyd a lot calmer when people like DelaWhere share news with him.
You should see the response I get from people who tell me that I should to invest in gold like they did...
I look them straight in the eye and ask them how many of my eggs or chicken or vegetables they think they would get for their gold - Can’t eat it... Now bring me a side of smoked bacon or a nice ham, and I’ll bet we can strike up a deal. A really good one too.
I just love honey bees. We had our own hives for many, many years and sold our excess honey in a stand using the honor system. When I operated our “pick your own bouquet” business I had a sign warning anyone that was allergic to bee stings that there were many, many bees in the gardens. Never had one single complaint of a bee sting. When I was working in the gardens, often bees would crawl all over my hands, so busy collecting pollen and nectar that they were oblivious to my presense.
