Lol, I'm with caranfindel! I can't stand idly by while you mock THE BEEKEEPING DEMON.
THE BEEKEEPING. DEMON.
BEEKEEPING--!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD (And his corn! Sweet corn!) Cain is my new favorite one-off demon, handily unseating 9x01's tractor demon from this title.
Because BEEKEEPING DEMON. This is not a celestial rumination on bees, nor a horde of angry killer bees, but an honest-to-god BEEKEEPING FUCKING DEMON.
BE STILL MY HEART.
On a slightly more sane note, if not actually a more serious one, my interests (and therefore my focus) are very different than yours, so I lovedddd thisssss! The parts I didn't (like Cain's backstory, lol) are irrelevant, and easily left behind. Beekeeping demon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything else about said demon!
I got nothin' against Cain. Although everything I have FOR Cain has to do with Omundson. Such as: beard! His expression during the entire fight scene! His very orderly collection of some-shucked and some-unshucked (we'll deliberately ignore what kinds of implications Thompson meant with all that) corn. And, BEES! As I have a great affinity for beekeeping, too. I have a long, probably not that interesting story to tell you about this, if you like.
Whoops, I also meant to say in my comment that my interests are primarily Dean, but LOL I FORGOT ABOUT MY PRIMARY INTERESTS. IN LIGHT OF THE BEES. I SWEAR I KNOW WHAT THE WORD "PRIMARY" MEANS. XD
Anywayyyyy. If you have a story to tell, my answer is ALWAYS yes, I want to hear i! And if it involves bees in any sense of them, then the answer is YES I WANT TO HEAR IT. I'm actually about to go to beekeeping class (and those bees had better goddamn appreciate that, because it is snowing and that is two miles from here >:|) so yesssss I wanna hear about your affinity for beekeeping! :D
You really have beekeeping class right now?! Sounds like you have a story or two to tell, too!
I feel lame telling this, because it REALLY ISN'T VERY INTERESTING, but: I knew a guy who was in a comedy improv troupe. The troupe member/that night's emcee would ask for various suggestions from the audience for the comedians to use in skits ("a famous historical figure," "an occupation"), and bemoaned that audience members always came up with the same/most obvious stuff, which made it much less fun and less challenging for the comedians. So I spent some time before I went thinking of rarer suggestions, one of which was, for occupation, "a beekeeper!," which I bravely shouted out in a room full of strangers. The emcee teased me about it THE WHOLE REST OF THE NIGHT ... but he did finally use it in a skit. ;-)
YUP I WENT TO BEEKEEPING CLASS. IT WAS AWESOME. I don't own bees, and I'm pretty sure my landlord would not be down with the owning of bees, but someday I'm going to own my own bees and it'll be awesome. Until then, I will learn stuff and learn by tending the bees of others.
My only real connection to bees is I took an insect ecology course because I love insects, and I love bees extra-much. There was a lab that did bee research, but I wasn't in it, alas. :( They are the only thing that aggregates that isn't squicky as all hell to me. (Aggregates! Gross!! D: Molecules at too high of a magnification! Ants! Inappropriately coagulated blood as the result of an improper transfusion! ALL EXTREMELY GROSS.) But bees. :D
And awww, no, I love your bee affinity story. <3333 Beekeeper is totally a great one for an improv sketch--what did they end up doing with it in the skit, if you remember?
Alas, I do not remember, only that it was not all I hoped. I remember hardly anything from that night, except that we were all rolling on the floor. I think it's the nature of improv, where on a good night the comedians and the audience come together on this hysterical wavelength and everything seems like THE FUNNIEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE, and then afterward, you're like, "WASN'T THAT HILARIOUS, WHEN ... wait, that's not actually that funny." But it sure is a grand time in the moment!
Yeah, bees are the coolest. I knew a guy who kept bees. We were chatting out by the hives and you could see the "bee highway" by which they mainly traveled, plain as day. It was amazing.
Is the class offered through your college? Tell me the truth: do you get stung? I've heard conflicting reports. ;-)
And no, it's through this science center nearish my house. I've only lived here about five months, all of which are not bee season, so the actual keeping of the bees will be new to me. But yes, you do get stung! The woman teaching the class has apparently been beekeeping for 20+years, and she said that on average, she typically gets stung about 100 times a year (tending 48 hives).
I've only been stung once before, and it was such a novelty that afterwards I spent the next half hour taking photographs of the bee. XD I am now the semi-proud owner of semi-decent macro shots of a dead bee.
Okay, thank you, because for a while there, all these beekeepers (yes, I really have watched WAAAY more documentaries on beekeeping than the average bear--again, SUCH IS MY AFFINITY FOR BEEKEEPING--as I too once upon a time dreamed of having my own hives) would go on record insisting they'd never been stung. Then my sister talked to one who said they say that as a joke, that they get stung all the time, which makes MUCH MORE SENSE. I am glad to finally get the straight story from someone!
And, SIMAFBK, I would love to hear any and all stories you ever care to tell here on lj about your beekeeping adventures.
