Stale Water and Friends
There's nothing more surprising then taking a nice big swig of water that's been sitting around on my desk since yesterday afternoon. There's just something so tasty and tangy about it. Course the sad thing is when I don't get a refill of fresh water right away, but continue to reach for the "stale" water. You would think I would have learned not to drink this water the first time. But alas, I'm a slow learner.

I have to make a quick comment about my last post. In particular the very first sentence, "So, I made this new friend". It makes it sound like I got some clay and construction paper out and made an art project. Makes it sound like I can't find friends and I have to make them. I guess it could be worse, I'm only making them, I'm not having to pay for them to be my friend.

This distracted me so much I nearly drank the stale water again. I really need to get a refill of fresh water before I take another drink. :-)

Hey where you going? Get back here... bye for now.

Bee Accessories
So I made this new friend recently who shared with me the most brilliant gift idea I've ever heard. You know the old adage what do you get a bee keeper that has everything, right? Well you get them a bee leash. It's so simple but brilliant. She explained it by saying you want to keep the bees not let them get away. So the bee leash allows you to keep your favorite bee within a certain distance of you.

So this got me thinking of other accessories that a beekeeper may need. How about a electrified bee fence. You don't want your bees wandering off and getting into the wrong sort of crowd. The last thing you want is your bees to join a gang of roving killer bees. No one likes those killer bees. The electrified fence would be similar to the dog fences but the transmitter would be on a much smaller scale. Course there will be some bugs to work out of the system initially like the size of the shock given. Don't want too large a shock or you'll fry the bees instantly. Also the sheer number of collars needed could be time consuming. But you have to ask yourself what is more important, keep your bees or letting them join a gang of killer bees.

I also think there's a whole market of bee outfits. It seems everyone likes dressing their pets up. Why not dress your bees up. That yellow and black stripping can get so boring after a while. Maybe small bunny ears or dog ear outfits. The possibilities are endless for anyone who can sew microscopic clothes. And I think there is a whole market out there for this too.

Also another big concern would be your bees being killed by over zealous homeowners who don't like bees. So to prevent this, I think bee gas masks would keep your bees safe. They could take a direct shot from pesticides and still continue on with their pollen collecting duties. In cases where super industrial pesticides are being used, then a full haz-mat suit may be needed for your bee.

These are just a couple of bee accessories I see. I think there is a giant market for bees that no one has tapped into. I believe a fortune can be made for those who love their bees and want to keep them safe.
