It wasn't until I was wandering the backroads of Indy that my little story occurred to me. Then, being able to tie it in to the life cycle of bees was an added treat. Thank you for like my little story.<br /><br />@Julie, not knowing the exchange rate for US and AUD, I still think that sum seems like a lot of money. There were a lot of people at the session for whom a few hundred $ might be possible, but a couple thousand would be harder to come by. I checked a catalog and found starter kits for as little as $168 US on up to $335. A supply of bees to start one's hive. Bees would be separate, of course, and cost about $135, depending on the market, shipping, etc. The extra expenses would come from adding hives as the bees filled up their earlier ones, medicinal treatments for mites,and added equipment for extraction and storage of honey.<br /><br />And I have read articles about long-haul trucker serial killers. They don't much want mature women, though, unless they're weird (as if being a serial killer doesn't qualify for that category).<br /><br />And Farmer's Daughter ... the next time I see you, I will take you to task for the "elderly, white hair" bit because I am silver-haired and, if not "mature" I must be chronologically challenged. I sometimes go through the Hillside area to get to swim practice at WCHS. It's not a pleasant ride, more scruffy, downtrodden and poor than the area I was trodding.Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-54710671592323917922015-03-04T08:21:30.385-06:002015-03-04T08:21:30.385-06:00I'll pay attention to the little filler articl...I'll pay attention to the little filler articles in the paper. The ones from the IMPD asking for help to identify bodies "... white elderly gray hair female<br />clutching her camera..." Just stay away from the Hillside area. Oophs!

I chortled out loud at the serial killer line!<br /><br />I checked out bee-keeping just last year, but decided it was too expensive for me, being quoted close to $2000 AUD for set up and gear.<br /><br />Fascinating thing to do though, hey?<br /><br />Thank you for participating in our Theme Day.
