Rumor Has It

Current Mood: Happy

Rumor has it that a bear was sentenced and fined, for theft, in the stealing of the food bees make from the nectar of flowers (honey). We hear that if you happen to be a beekeeper and would like to discourage this annoying, and somewhat costly, occurrence that there is a remedy. The bear does not like country rock music. We recommend putting a stereo system near your beehives, playing an album picked up at your local honky tonk, turning the sound up high and the bass even higher, and your problem will be solved. Of course you may find that your bees dislike this music as much as the bear and you might just find both languishing in your neighbor’s meadow.

*Update: We have been told that the bear was going to join the circus in an attempt to raise the money to pay his fines. However, Animal Rights Activists are rallying the state to pay his fines, because we still need to know what a bear does in the woods.
