We just got our European bee nukes yesterday. So far, its looking like we are going to have some super chill hives this year.

That was the least of the Rangers’ problems this weekend.

Like giving up 5 homeruns in one series to Mike Trout when you have Justin Bour due up after him?

I’m just stunned the Rangers have even won 5 games so far.

Sissies.

This happened before at Angel Stadium. That day there happened to be a beekeeper at the game and he carried a shop vac out to the swarm and vacuumed them all up.

Swarming bees looking for a place to make a new hive usually aren’t aggressive, which the beekeeper knew. It’s when they have a hive to defend that you can be in big trouble.

Odor needs to get going. Oh well, I’m an Angel fan and they have a ton of issues also. I have no idea why anyone pitches to Trout. They have multiple hitters under .100.

Swarms are usually very docile. I have handled them with my bare hands. It is a very strange sensation holding thousands of bees in your hands. They feel “dry” if that makes any sense.

You want to be careful not to crush one and you don’t want them crawling up your pants leg. They’ll keep going up until there’s no more room to crawl, if they panic or get pinched by the material, they’ll likely sting—often near a tender bit.

I got my Italians three weeks ago and already have one split. Apparently I got two queens. Woo-hoo, more honey.

I had a funny thought about these bees and the timing of the article and of Beresheet. Heh I know, "random", but well, my tagline is always alive and this happened at Angel Stadium so..

The English name transliteration for the lunar lander isn't the typical spelling Bereshith. It's Beresheet. For example,

"Bees There"

"Be Set Here"

"Bee Esther"

"Be the Seer"

Brought to you by "SPACEIL".

Isn't that... (wait for it)...

I always pronounced it “brerSHEET”, or if in very frum/ashkenazi company, “BrayShis”...

Thanks Yulee. I saw the movie and had beehives for a short two years. My best pets ever. I loved watching their hard sloppy landings by the bee hive entryway when they were full burdened down with pollen. Honey bees are amazing.
A lawnmower and any kind of small engine can set off a legitimate beehive. Not just the Africanized ones.

I never really know how to pronounce anything because the variations are all over the map!

I suppose they key is to be consistent by using one speech family, but yikes, lol.

Imagine a foreigner using English pronunciations that are a mixed bag of NY, British, Yankee, Southern and Midwestern accents, and oh how about Hawaiian too.

Hilarious. Maybe that IS the idea. :)
