      Gone, gone, gone !!!! 5/4 tongue and groove treated boards

      2/12/24. The boards are gone. I have a pile of treated 5/4 tongue and groove boards I removed from my porch. They are in good to fair shape and could be used for a variety of projects. Deer stands, deck at the old cabin, wall in the work shop. I only removed them because I poured concrete for...

      Makes you wonder ….

      I was removing my EDC knife from my pocket and noticed that a bee had found its way into the hole at the end of the handle of the knife. How this could happen is beyond me. I use the knife all day long working around the house and shop and sometimes in the bee yard but for a bee to tuck itself...

      The elusive snipe

      With the cold weather that moved in the snipe came also. While working around the shop last week I noticed a good many snipe hanging around the yard surrounding the shop. It’s been many a year since we’ve seen this type of activity. They love cold days and moist ground which aids them in finding...

      Late season dove hunt on last day of the season. Pics included.

      This weekend was the last weekend for doves, so we gathered the crew and got after it. The approaching cold front brought the birds in and we had a pretty good hunt. We also plant some sunflowers and soybeans each year to keep them in the area, but it really is more weather dependent as to...

      4 national parks in 4 days (pics included)

      Earlier in the year we had planned this trip for the week after Christmas, but decided to cancel because of reasons I can’t even remember as I type this. As we were sitting around one evening putting up Christmas decorations we changed our mine again and decided to make the trip after all. We...

      Squirrels,suppressed.

      Was able to slip in the woods this morning with the CZ and procure a few squirrels. The can definitely gives you an advantage, especially if you need a second shot. Gotta head to work now, the bees wait on no one.

      Made the front page of the advocate and no, I wasn’t arrested

      The ole syrup operation got some publicity today in the advocate. It’s a feel good story on my Uncles cane syrup operation. I’m just labor as he’s the brains behind the business. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Count your blessings as any day above ground is a good one.

      Little Boys/ Another slice of Americana. 1 picture

      Every year when we, mainly my awesome wife, decorate our tree for Christmas, we always hold this little ornament in high esteem as it is one of our favorites. It’s a grade school aged kid dressed like an Indian with his bow and arrow either dancing around a campfire or chasing imaginary buffalos...

      Chasing some bushy tails with my first love. Pics included

      Like most kids back in the day I started my hunting career with a crack barrel 20 gauge made by Ithaca. I believe it was a Model 66. After using it for a few years to hunt anything and everything I decided it was time to step up my game and get something I didn’t have to reload after every shot...

      Hiking the West Highland Way in Scotland. Moors, dales and lochs oh my !!!!

      My wife and I started planning this trip over a year ago. We had been to Ireland before and really enjoyed it, so we figured we’d probably like Scotland just as much and we were not disappointed. We picked October to make the trip as usually the weather is cool and less rainy, plus the pesky...

      Bassin in the the North Woods.

      The ole bee man made a a trip to the north woods the second week of September. We were going on the back side of the full moon which usually means good weather and good fishing and we were not disappointed. After suffering 103 degree weather for the last 4-5 weeks it was nice to have 70’s and...

      Digging potatoes on a hot summer day

      Back in the day while working on our families farm in the summer, my uncle would use my two cousins and myself to fill in where needed, and lots of time it was hot hard work. Digging out Johnson grass in the middle of endless can fields, scraping down equipment and painting it with no shade in...

      Back on the AT, made it to Clingmons Dome in the Great Smokey Mountains.

      Well we were fortunate and with the Grace of God we were able to make another section on the AT a few months ago. We got on the trail on April 23rd and got off on the 28th. We started where we left off last time (Natahala Outdoor Center and end the trip at the lookout tower at Clingmons Dome in...

      WTS: Honey flow in SE Louisiana almost over for the year.

      I’ve talked about this before, but for all the budding entomologists and honey connoisseurs out there I’ll give a brief run down of what’s happening this year in the bee yard. The main flow in Louisiana usually runs from May to June and believe it or not this is when the majority of the honey is...

      Busy as a bee but still making time for a little fun in the surf.

      The old bee man has been burning the candles at both ends lately but I took a few minutes this am to partake in one of my favorite past times, fishing. It was a beautiful morning so I slipped out the camp and headed to the beach and made a few cast just to loosen up the old arms and try to...

      SOLD: Smith and Wesson Airweight .38 SPL. Hammerless

      I am selling a Smith and Wesson .38 SPL. hammerless revolver. It is in good shape and would make an excellent pocket gun or back up pistol.

      Land of the Seminole, manatee, and key lime pie

      My wife and I headed down to South Florida the week before Christmas and visited two national parks and spent two days in Key West. We went to the Everglades National Park and Biscayne National park and tried to make it to the Dry Tortuga’s, but could not book a seat on the ferry as it was sold...

We covered 70 plus miles and averaged 12 miles a day. Our base pack weight was 18 lbs and when we added food and water we were at 22-23lbs. We made a lot...

      Out with the old and in with the new, we’ll sort of.

      As a lot of you know I’m in the honey business and sell honey from a self serve kiosk at my house in BR. I built a small stand maybe 5 years ago and it has served me very well , but I’ve been itching to upgrade it so I did that the past few months. I repurposed some old shelving from my brothers...
